LONOKE COUNTY, Ark. (KARK) – Officials in Arkansas said a man is facing a murder charge after a confrontation turned deadly early Tuesday morning.
According to authorities, deputies with the Lonoke County Sheriff’s Office responded to a home shortly after 1 a.m. after a juvenile was reported missing.
The deputies were told on the way to the home that Aaron Spencer, the father of the juvenile, had found the juvenile in a car with Michael Fosler, according to officials.
Authorities said there was an altercation between the two men which led to Fosler being shot. Officials said Fosler was pronounced dead at the scene.
Deputies said they took Spencer into custody on a preliminary charge of first-degree murder, and he was taken to the Lonoke County Detention Center.
As of Monday, no formal charges have been filed against Spencer, and no additional details have been released.
A woman claiming to be Spencer’s wife claimed they had a no-contact order for Fosler, accusing him of stalking their child.
In an online fundraiser, the woman said Spencer began driving around to search for their child after discovering she was missing. She explained that her husband happened to pass a man driving with their child in his vehicle and chased him.
“The chase ended in an accident. Aaron was able to retrieve our child alive, but in the process he was attacked and did what he had to do to protect himself and our minor child,” the woman wrote. She added that they are working to “retain a legal team” to help keep her husband, a combat veteran, “home with us where he belongs.”
“We are private people, so all of this being public has been very difficult,” she wrote on Facebook last week.
Your daughter belongs to the state, not you.
The man should demand a jury trial.
If this is even close to being true, I hope he prevails, death to all perverts (slow and agonizing would be better).
Found *her* with a much older man.
At first glance, this homicide seems to fall somewhere between justified and praiseworthy.
I don’t care what he looks like, not guilty.
This story has stench written all over it...hasn’t been formally charged? No official arraignment? Something’s going on. Law Enforcement seems to be going out their way to bury this father.
Did the dead person have old political ties to the Clintons?
I think the dead guy was or is law enforcement.
Had a restraining order on him.

#### that.
Only if we let them.
We’re not little @###ing girls.
We know how to fight. We just choose not to time after time after time after time after time.
And ok, we have an electoin coming up that will hopefully peacefully solve all of our problems.
We’ll see what happens with that.
I am NOT calling for sedition at all.
I’m just saying that a time may come when we have to stop crying about what the deep state is doing and do something about it....more than typing :)
I’ve always been a fan of curbstone justice. Society needs a certain amount. Our criminal justice system gives the state an exclusive monopoly on punishment. To that I say BS.
So ..it’s stenchy!
He deserves a medal.
I don’t know Arkansas law and how it works but it sounds like the police arrested him on suspicion of murder while further investigation is carried out. It is clear that he did shoot the scumbag to death so maybe the officer really has no choice. Then it is up to the prosecutor to lodge formal charges (maybe after a grand jury decides whether to indict). The fact the father was released on a fairly low bail probably means the prosecutor will not push this case.
No one will convict him.
Your narrative sounds about right. The daughter may have left with the creep voluntarily, but that does not negate the parents rights and obligations.
We don’t know what really happened, so let’s stay cool and see what develops.
I hadn’t heard he’d been released on bail or arraigned...had been trying to find updates...good to know then!

xxxxxxxxxxxxxx
iirc, it’s been reported that this older man had groomed/molested/raped this girl before & that’s why there was a restraining order out on him
only Satan himself would stop the execution of an evil person. And using the excuse, what if they are innocent? Is an easy excuse to use against the weak minded.
Christians know that death is not an end, it's a new begining. And one they truly don't fear.
While I don’t know for sure how it works in AR, this is likely SOP — arrest him and investigate. No charges yet. If this pans out as stated, no charges likely. AR isn’t CA after all.
