Yahoo News Texas police are hunting for a driver with a 'F*** TRUMP' sticker on their truck
Police in Texas are seeking the driver of a pick-up truck with an ‘offensive’ sticker on the rear window that reads: ‘F*** TRUMP AND F*** YOU FOR VOTING FOR HIM.’
Fort Bent County Sheriff Troy E. Nehls said that he had received a number of calls complaining about the anti-President slogan.
He wrote on Facebook: ‘I have received numerous calls regarding the offensive display on this truck as it is often seen along FM 359.
‘If you know who owns this truck or it is yours, I would like to discuss it with you.
‘Our Prosecutor has informed us she would accept Disorderly Conduct charges regarding it, but I feel we could come to an agreement regarding a modification to it.’
Texas law states that a person is committing the offence of Disorderly Conduct if he or she ‘uses abusive, indecent, profane or vulgar language in a public place, and the language by its very utterance tends to incite an immediate breach of the peace’ or if he or she ‘makes an offensive gesture or display in a public place, and the gesture or display tends to incite an immediate breach of the peace’.
The sheriff’s post asking for information about the sticker has been shared more than 8,000 times and has received more than 16,000 comments at the time of publication.
The owner of the truck, mother-of-12 Karen Forsenca, told Houston’s KPRC news channel: ‘I thought the whole thing was totally crazy.
‘It’s been on there for such a long time and we have so much positive out of it – more positive that outweighs the negative.’
She said she didn’t know why the sheriff chose to post the picture on Facebook instead of reaching out to her directly.

‘He could have done that at the same time, it is an invasion of privacy and everything else because he put me on blast on his Facebook Page.’
She added that the message was less offensive than much of what children are exposed to in the media, saying: ‘I understand I have 12 children of our own, at the same time, what we have on the back of our truck is nothing compared to what you see every day on the music videos, see on TV and video games.’
