An Arkansas father was arrested after allegedly shooting and killing a man who was found in a vehicle with the father’s missing 14-year-old daughter.Aaron Spencer, 36, reported his daughter missing on Tuesday, and Lonoke County Sheriff’s Office deputies were dispatched to his home.
But as deputies were on their way to the residence, they learned that Spencer had found his daughter in a vehicle with Michael Fosler, 67. A confrontation ensued between the two men before Spencer allegedly shot and killed Fosler.
Deputies arrested Spencer on a preliminary charge of first-degree murder, a Class Y felony. He was booked into the Lonoke County Detention Center before being released the next day after posting bail.
Sheriff John Staley said in a video on Facebook that Spencer has not been formally charged yet and that the District Attorney’s Office will decide which charges to file.
“This is a tragic situation and my thoughts and prayers are with all involved,” Staley said.
Spencer’s wife, Heather, said on Facebook that Fosler had a “no contact order” with her daughter for stalking and raping the 14-year-old over the summer and that she and her husband feared he might kill her. She said that she and her husband were unaware Fosler was again in contact with her child.
“We absolutely called 911 during the entire event,” she wrote. “We had no idea this man was in contact with our child again. He was waiting 6-9 felonies for what he did, not 2. He was looking at the rest of his pathetic life in jail, and our daughter was the only witness.”
“Some things we will never know, but we know that the police department afforded this predator privacy they did not give our family,” she continued. “Including posting our home address. I’m deeply offended by the way this was handled by the county [sheriff’s] office.”
The woman added: “At the end of the day, our daughter is a victim and we have a long road of recovery for everyone. We are so thankful for all the calls, messages and prayers.”
Fosler had been arrested by another law enforcement agency in July and booked for internet stalking of a child and sexual assault, Staley told USA TODAY.

Several of our Usual Suspects submitted the Arkansas article, thanks.

Sounds like Fosler had some serious deep illness problems.
And Dr Spencer gave him the Pedo Pill cure.
If there’s any true justice in he world, the DA would file no charges, take Mr Spencer aside quietly off the record and tell him “good job, thanks, but don’t do it again”.
A hot lead injection cures pedophilia EVERY time.
This piece of shit was also apparently a retired police chief.
Put me on that jury. I’d vote Mr. Spenser for Father of The Year.
Fresno homeowner could use a little range time.
SanFran Nan makes sure that a lot of folks who didn’t vote still get counted. Betcha DiFi votes for Kum-Hella…several times.
“…prevent a PRS from living in your safe eventually.” Maybe I shoulda bought a safe instead of a leaky boat.
Even with the most adamant ‘innocent until proven guilty’ DA, our daughter was the only witness” should be an instant self-defense argument.
