US EditionAaron Spencer wins primary race for sheriff as he awaits his murder trial in Arkansas
Aaron Spencer won with over 53% of the vote in Lonoke County's GOP primary while awaiting trial on second-degree murder charges related to his daughter's alleged abuser.
- On Tuesday, Aaron Spencer defeated Lonoke County Sheriff John Staley, winning 53.5% of the vote with all precincts reporting, according to unofficial results posted by the Arkansas Secretary of State.
- Spencer, who is charged with second-degree murder, says the shooting followed finding his daughter missing on October 8, 2024, and he framed his campaign on perceived law enforcement failures.
- Court records show Spencer found his daughter in Fosler's vehicle, forced Fosler's truck off the road, and called 911 after shooting him; he has pleaded not guilty and is out on bond, while Fosler faced multiple counts with a $50,000 bail.
- Now, with the primary behind him, Spencer turns to the November election and may be barred from serving if convicted, forcing a GOP replacement, as the county charged him with murder.
- The contest has drawn national attention, making Aaron Spencer's win in Lonoke County, where Donald Trump won almost 76% in 2024, a focal point for Arkansas and national observers.
