Shocking Footage Shows Chicago Woman Calmly Smearing Dog Poop All Over a Trump-Branded Cybertruck — What She Said Later
I never expected to read something like this early in the morning, but here we are. A bizarre incident in Chicago has gone viral: surveillance cameras caught a woman smearing dog poop all over a Trump-themed Cybertruck belonging to a visitor from Georgia. The footage is unnerving — the woman seems almost casual, wiping the mess across the tailgate, which features Donald Trump’s gold-leaf signature.
The owner of the truck, John Evans, was visiting Chicago for a conference. He parked the Tesla in the Northalsted neighborhood and went about his day. When he returned, the truck was defaced. He says the vehicle was wrapped in an American flag and clearly branded with Trump’s name. Evans believes the overt political branding may have provoked the attack.
Footage from the truck’s own cameras appears to show a woman approaching, taking her time, and methodically applying the feces across the vehicle. Evans shared stills and video snippets on X (formerly Twitter), and that’s when strangers started identifying the woman as Dorothy Owen, co-owner of a local dog daycare, Renegade Dog Services.
What’s strange is how reactionary and public this act was. In the days following, Owen’s business account reportedly responded mockingly on Instagram. That response itself drew a fierce backlash — negative reviews poured in, and public censure followed.
Evans declined to press criminal charges. He told reporters he felt the public outrage was punishment enough and that law enforcement should focus on more serious crimes. He called it “un-American behavior” and urged people to act better.
Authorities, so far, have not confirmed the identity of the woman, nor filed charges. Owen has not been officially charged.
I can’t stop thinking how symbolic this feels. A political display meeting a grotesque act of destruction. We live in a time when symbolism matters, and a truck wrapped in conservative iconography becomes a target itself. For Evans, this wasn’t just property damage — it felt like an attack on his beliefs, his choice to display that iconography.
And yet, the response is so telling, too. Social media erupted. Some users criticized the woman harshly. Others wondered if the act was politically motivated, or an impulsive act of anger. The mockery from the business account only made things worse, turning public sentiment almost entirely against her. The way people turned on her business and left scathing reviews, it’s a form of accountability in our digital age.
There’s irony here. The very camera system on the truck that Trump supporters might see as high-tech patriotism ended up exposing the vandalism in full. That footage became a kind of justice — not legal justice, but public exposure.
I don’t know how this will resolve itself. Will charges be filed later? Will Owen’s business survive the storm of negative publicity? Will Evans feel vindicated or traumatized by the defacement? These are questions that only time will answer.
For now, this story is a vivid reminder of how politics, pride, and media collide in strange ways. It’s not just about a truck; it’s about identity, conflict, and spectacle. When someone feels compelled to smear feces on someone else’s vehicle — especially when that vehicle is laden with political symbolism — that act says something deeper about division, anger, and provocation in our times.
I almost feel sorry for Evans, who just parked his car and hoped for a normal day. Instead he returned to this spectacle. This incident may look absurd, but it speaks to something raw and real — how polarized and tense things are.
And for Dorothy Owen, this will likely be a mark on her public reputation she’ll never fully escape.
