An Arkansas man charged with second-degree murder for killing an accused sex offender whom he found in a car with his 14-year-old daughter announced he’s running for Lonoke County sheriff.
Aaron Spencer, 36, is accused of shooting and killing 67-year-old Michael Fosler after finding him with his missing daughter.

THV11 provided additional background info:
During the incident, a confrontation between the two men began and ended in Fosler being shot. He was pronounced dead while still at the scene.
Spencer was taken into custody and then transported to the Lonoke County Detention Center.
According to court files, Fosler had been charged with two counts of alleged internet talking of a child, two counts of 4th-degree sexual assault, and two counts of sexual indecency with a child.
Additionally, Fosler was also charged with possession of 36 counts of child sexual abuse materials.
The announcement of Spencer’s bid for Lonoke County sheriff comes about three months before he is set to stand trial on January 26, 2026.
“I’m the father who acted to protect his daughter when the system failed,” Spencer said in a video announcing his candidacy.
“Through my own fight for justice, I have seen firsthand the failures in law enforcement and in our circuit court. And, I refuse to stand by while others face these same failures,” he continued.
“This campaign isn’t about me; it’s about every parent, every neighbor, every family who deserves to feel safe in their homes and safe in their community. It’s about restoring trust, where neighbors know law enforcement is on their side and families know they will not be left alone in a moment of need,” he added.
“Back in 2024, Spencer woke up to find his 14-year-old daughter missing from her bed. There was a stuffed animal in a hoodie under her bed sheets. According to court documents, Spencer then began searching the neighborhood and found his daughter in a car with 67-year-old Michael Fosler. Spencer chased the car down and drove it off the road before shooting and killing Fosler,” Collin Rugg wrote.

More from The Independent:
Spencer called 911 to report that he had shot Fosler, who died at the scene, according to court documents.
Following Spencer’s arrest, his wife, Heather, launched a GiveSendGo campaign to support her husband.
She said that her daughter had been “targeted, groomed and ultimately raped by the boyfriend of a family friend.”
“We let the justice system do its job. The monster who hurt our child was charged quickly, but released even faster on a $50k bond,” she added. “He was awaiting court in December for several felonies in relation to what he did to our child.”
Heather also described the charges against her husband as “outrageous” and said that he was a “hero,” because she believed her “child would have not come home if my husband hadn’t found her.”
Spencer’s pre-trial date is set for December 16, and his trial will begin on January 26, 2026.
Residents have flooded the comments section of his video announcing his intention to run for the sheriff’s office.
“Lonoke needs you for sheriff! Best of luck to you,” one wrote.
“We need this!!!!!! Please let us know what we can do to support you!!!!!,” said another.
Even Spencer’s son, Malachi, commented under the post.
“Proud to call this man my father!” he wrote.
