Arkansas Sheriff Candidate’s Murder Charge Dropped Amidst Lost Dash Cam Footage
A murder charge against sheriff’s candidate Aaron Spencer was dismissed due to egregious conduct by law enforcement, specifically the loss of a crucial dash-cam memory card. Spencer had been accused of second-degree murder for shooting Michael Fosler, who was allegedly abducting Spencer’s teenaged daughter. Fosler, who faced numerous charges including sexual assault, was found to be driving Spencer’s daughter at the time of the incident. Despite not denying the shooting, Spencer maintained his actions were to protect his daughter, a stance that resonated with voters as he later won a Republican primary for sheriff.
