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.
Fort Bend County Sheriff Troy Nehls had threatened Fonseca with a disorderly conduct charge over the decal. However, District Attorney John Healey said he didn’t think it would have been a prosecutable case.
Fonseca had said she would not remove the decal. She said she had been stopped by law officers, but that they have no grounds to issue a citation.
“It’s not to cause hate or animosity,” the 46-year-old Fonseca told the Houston Chronicle. “It’s just our freedom of speech and we’re exercising it.” …

Well, Rosenberg itself is a few miles southwest of Houston. The man it’s named after came to TX before it became a state, but after the Civil War started.
The town started as a railroad town called Rosenberg Junction, by law being placed near Richmond (the law said the railroad had to come within one mile of the Fort Bend County courthouse); the intent of the Gulf, Colorado and Santa Fe Railroad (which Rosenberg was president of) was to have a westbound rail route bypassing the congestion of Houston.
“It’s not to cause hate or animosity,...”
So, her truck is just a Skittles-f@rting Unicorn spreading Peace, Love and Happiness?
A simple misunderstanding.
NOTE TO SELF: When there is a WARRANT out for my ARREST for Check Kiting or other Socially Unacceptable Behavior, I’d best NOT be making a SPECTACLE of myself IN PUBLIC with stickers on my truck that tell the rest of you to Feck-Off!
Got it! ;)
There are plenty of words in the English language to express ourselves with. We don’t need to resort to such contemptible language. It comes as no surprise to me that liberals have terminal potty-mouthitis. But its sad that some conservatives want to compete with them.
What a surprise, another fat, ugly disgusting liberal pig.
President of the Santa Fe R.R. is a pretty good break for a new comer.
Always have associated Galveston with Jean Lafitte, another man who found success in the Gulf.
Although it sounds like Rosenberg probably had a better retirement!
Maybe she considers the sign as ‘a form of flirtation’.
Yeah, that’s the ticket!//
Simply replace “Trump” with “Islam”, “Blacks”, “LGBLTQ (or whatever the Hell that is)” or any other number of protected classes and imagine the peaceful, reasoned reactions she’d get.
An old warrant would be the least of her problems.
That’s putting it mildly. This poster may qualify as an object of the See Something, Say Something program.
Excellent point!
Could you help me understand what year that was?
Unfortunately, the Scotus disagrees with you. This is political speech and enjoys the highest level of protection under the First Amendment.
Most folks believe that Texas was admitted to the union Sept. 29, 1845.
I thought I saw another article where they wrote that she said it was her husband’s truck, she just drove it occasionally.
After I see her picture I think the bumper sticker is just her verbalizing a fantasy.
“Woman Arrested On Fraud Warrant”...
nah, that wouldn’t do.
Karma. Serves her right for calling attention to herself.
Say it on the air and the broadcaster will be fined.
Show me the court case otherwise.
Whoops, mistype. Very sorry.
Also got the period wrong about the war, obviously. Brain misfiring tonight.
