The owner of the truck with a ‘F__k Trump sticker has been arrested, according to her husband. He says Karen Fonseca was picked up for an outstanding warrant from August. He said he didn’t know what the charge was but records show she was accused of fraud.
The Fort Bend County Sheriff’s Office would not confirm the arrest.

Fonseca made headlines Wednesday after Fort Bend County Sheriff Troy Nehls threatened to arrest her for the anti-Trump sticker on her pickup.
The sticker says “F__k Trump and f__k you for voting for him.”
Nehls posted a photo of the truck on Facebook Wednesday and said a prosecutor had agreed that Fonseca was breaking the law. After thousands of commenters defended the sticker as free speech, Nehls deleted the post.
“The objective of the post was to find the owner/driver of the truck and have a conversation with them in order to prevent a potential altercation between the truck driver and those offended by the message. Since the owner of the truck has been identified, the Sheriff took down the post,” a Fort Bend County Sheriff’s Office spokesperson said Thursday. source
The Fort Bend County District Attorney said her office had no plans to file charges in the case.
“It’s hard to believe that a simple sticker could cause so much arousal,” Fonseca said Thursday before her arrest.
She and her husband have had the sticker for nearly a year.
