Summary
What a remarkable turn of events, just weeks before an explosive trial was set to begin in Arkansas. A judge has dismissed second degree murder charges against the leading candidate for Lonoke County Sheriff., 37-year-old Aaron Spencer. Spencer was in pursuit of 67-year-old Michael Fosler, who kidnapped his 13-year-old daughter while out on parole for allegedly sexually assaulting her months earlier. Spencer admits to running him off the road, shooting and killing Fosler and rescuing his daughter in the process. Wait until you hear WHY the judge dismissed the case and why that is now adding to the likelihood this self confessed killer may become Lonoke’s next sheriff.
