Dad Accused Of Shooting Man Found With His Missing 14-Year-Old Daughter
HuffPost
A gun rights group says Aaron Spencer, 36, acted in self-defense when he shot the other man after seeing his daughter in the man's car.
A 36-year-old Arkansas father was arrested earlier this month after authorities said he fatally shot a man he saw driving with his missing 14-year-old daughter.
Aaron Spencer, 36 was taken into custody on Oct. 8 on suspicion of first-degree murder in the fatal shooting of Michael Fosler, 67, Lonoke County Sheriff John Staley said. But a local gun rights group says the shooting is a case of self-defense — and a statement by the girl’s mother said that Fosler had groomed and raped the teen.
The sheriff said in a statement on Oct. 10 that the investigation is ongoing and prosecutors will be the ones who decide whether or not to formally charge Spencer.
“I have not, nor will I, advocate for any specific charge,” Staley said. “This is a tragic situation, and my thoughts and prayers are with all those involved.”
The Office of Lonoke County Prosecuting Attorney did not immediately respond to HuffPost’s request for comment. As of Tuesday, court records did not show any criminal charges against Spencer.
