Aaron Spencer, a father from Lonoke County, Arkansas, has announced he is running for sheriff. Not interesting? How about that he is currently charged with second degree murder – in Lonoke County – by the current sheriff? For killing the sexual predator who was assaulting his daughter?<\/p>\n
\nAaron Spencer, an Army veteran and farmer, announced his candidacy this month in Lonoke County a year after authorities say he shot and killed a man who had been out on bond after being charged with numerous sexual offenses against his underage daughter.<\/p>\n
Spencer has pleaded not guilty and is out on bond while awaiting a trial set for early next year. His attorneys do not deny that their client shot and killed Michael Fosler, 67, but maintain he acted within the law to protect his child from a predator.<\/p>\n
The primary election in Arkansas is next March, with the general election in November 2026. He is not yet officially on the ballot since candidate filings begin next month.ABC News<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
Mr. Spencer was charged after,\u00a0 when he found his then-13-year old daughter was missing from his house, he left his house in search of 67 year old Michael Fosler, who was out on bail from 43 charges including internet stalking and child pornography charges. Spencer’s daughter had reported numerous sexual acts and\u00a0 grooming on Fosler’s part. A car chase ensued, Mr. Fosler was allegedly run off the road, apparently then tried to attack Spencer, who applied the traditional Taxpayers Saving Round and turned out Fosler’s lights permanently. Heather claimed in a Facebook post that Fosler had begun by contacting her through text messages after meeting her at a family friend’s house.<\/p>\n
He would be released on a $50,000 bond, though, and the family moved to issue a no-contact order against Fosler, though this didn’t stop him, according to CNN.<\/p>\n
In October 2024, Spencer was charged with second-degree, with his pre-trial set for 16 December and his trial beginning on 26 January 2026.<\/p>\n
In a video on Facebook, he announced his intention to run for the position of Lonoke County sheriff, claiming that he was ‘the father who acted to protect his daughter when the system failed’. LADBible<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
It is possible the judge could rule against his running while awaiting trial. Most locals interviewed did not seem terribly concerned, according to the reports, and a GoFundMe set up to help out on Spencer’s legal expenses has raised $81,000 so far.<\/p>\n
Perhaps a box of ammo would be an appropriate gift, perhaps on the name of Gary Plauche, who killed his son’s sexual abuser Jeff Doucet on camera back in 1984.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
