Summary

In July 2024, Michael Fosler was charged with 43 felony counts of sexual assault involving a 13-year-old girl. Three months later, that girl’s father, Aaron Spencer, found her in the passenger seat of Fosler's truck in the middle of the night. What happened next on a darkened Arkansas highway sparked a legal firestorm that has reached the state’s Supreme Court and the local ballot box. In a new, unexpected twist, Aaron Spencer won a primary election and is now on his way to becoming the Sheriff of Lonoke County.
