The driver of a pickup displaying an expletive-filled message to President Donald Trump and his supporters in the Houston area was arrested Thursday on an outstanding warrant.
Fort Bend County Sheriff’s Office records show Karen Fonseca was arrested about 2 p.m. Thursday on an outstanding fraud warrant issued in August by the Rosenberg Police Department. She remained in the county jail Thursday night with bond set at $1,500.
A sheriff’s spokesman has not answered a message seeking details behind the warrant.

Galveston?
Ahh, got my geography confused and was thinking this was out in West Texas.

Okay, thanks, n00b.
Your comments show an interesting pattern.
I remember years ago in South Carolina, there was a case where a guy was fined ( and it was upheld ) for violating the local obscenity law. He had a bumper sticker on the back of his truck. He was a Clemson fan. The sticker read “My tigers can beat your cocks” - referring to the Carolina Gamecocks.
she’s mad because welfare reform may cut her off after having a half dozen kids by different donors. Or she’s a carpet muncher.
She must be on the top of the holiday season party invite list.
The Do Not Invite list.
Here’s an idea. How about she is treated the same way a Trump supporter is treated when they wear a red MAGA hat. Publicly humiliate and curse her for being a leftist. Taker her truck from her and burn it. How dare she offend people by exercising her free speech rights.
