From Daily Caller: An Arkansas father who killed his teenage daughter’s alleged rapist won the Republican primary for Lonoke County Sheriff on Tuesday — as he awaits trial for second-degree murder charges.
Aaron Spencer won 53.53% of the vote against two challengers in the primary, according to the Arkansas Secretary of State’s website. President Donald Trump won Lonoke County, a predominately suburban county in the Little Rock metropolitan area, by over 50% in the 2016, 2020 and 2024 presidential elections.
The state filed charges against Spencer in October 2024, accusing him of the second-degree murder of 67-year-old Michael Fosler, who had been charged with multiple sexual crimes against Spencer’s daughter, then 13. At the time the father fatally shot Fosler, the alleged rapist was out on bond, according to the Associated Press (AP).
In October 2025, Spencer announced his campaign for sheriff citing the failures of the justice system hat he experienced “firsthand.”
“Through my own fight for justice, I have seen firsthand the failures in law enforcement and in our circuit court,” Spencer said. “And I refuse to stand by while others face these same failures.”
