Residents of a large county in Texas are allegedly upset over a truck bearing a large anti-Trump sticker, and now the county sheriff is involved.

In a Facebook post Wednesday afternoon, Fort Bend County Sheriff Troy E. Nehls referenced "numerous calls" about the "offensive" sticker which bears a common four-letter epithet, and encouraged the vehicle's owner to contact him. Nehls, a Republican, says that the county prosecutor would consider disorderly conduct charges for the owner of the truck, but Nehls says he would be willing to come to an agreement with the owner about a modification.

The post racked up 1,600 reactions in just three hours and generated thousands of comments, many of them decrying the post and its legal threats as a violation of the First Amendment. Democrat Hillary Clinton won the county in the 2016 presidential election with 51 percent of the vote, while Trump nabbed 45 percent of the vote.

Nehls was elected as the sheriff of Fort Bend County, situated just southeast of Houston, in 2012 and was reelected in 2016.
