A father in Arkansas has launched a campaign to become sheriff while awaiting trial for the murder of a man accused of abusing his teenage daughter. Aaron Spencer, 37, is running to become sheriff of Lonoke County, Arkansas, as he awaits trial for the murder of Michael Fosler, 67.<\/p>\n

Fosler was facing over 40 sexual offences against Spencer\u2019s daughter, including the internet stalking of a child, two counts of sexual assault and sexual indecency, and possession of child pornography. He had been released on bond when Spencer discovered his missing daughter, who was 13 at the time, in Fosler\u2019s truck in October of last year, according to court documents.<\/p>\n

Spencer is accused of shooting Fosler, who died at the scene, and called 911, according to the filing. He was subsequently charged with second-degree murder, according to court documents. Now, as Spencer prepares for trial after being released on bond, he has thrown his hat in to become sheriff.<\/p>\n

\u2018It\u2019s time to bring trust, accountability, and safety back to our community. Join us on this journey to build a Sheriff\u2019s Office you can believe in,\u2019 he wrote on Facebook.<\/p>\n

In a video, the father and veteran introduced himself and said: \u2018Many of you know my story. I\u2019m the father who acted to protect his daughter when the system failed.\u2019<\/p>\n

Spencer\u2019s wife, Heather, praised her husband\u2019s \u2018courageous actions\u2019 and said: \u2018I have no doubt that if it weren\u2019t for God and my husband, I would have never seen my child again\u2019<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

\u2018I refuse to stand by while others face these same failures,\u2019 he continued.<\/p>\n

\u2018This campaign isn\u2019t about me. It\u2019s about every parent, every neighbor, every family who deserves to feel safe in their homes and safe in their community It\u2019s about restoring trust where neighbors know law enforcement is on their side and families know that they will not be left alone in a moment of need.\u2019<\/p>\n

In the comments under the video, Spencer\u2019s son wrote that he was \u2018proud to call this man my father.\u2019<\/p>\n

\u2018The relief of my child being alive was quickly followed by terror as the prosecutor set preliminary charges at Murder 1 with $150K bond,\u2019 she continued. According to Heather, in the spring of 2024, their teenage daughter confided in a family member that she had been sexually assaulted.<\/p>\n

\u2018It took very little exposure for an unknown man who was old enough to be my father to start pursuing my child. This monster was an opportunist and started grooming my then 13-year-old via text,\u2019 she wrote.<\/p>\n

Heather said that their family waited for \u2018the law\u2019 to \u2018run its course,\u2019 adding: \u2018We trusted that this man would be served justice under the law.\u2019<\/p>\n
