Arkansas case, father kills 67 year old man abusing his daughter

The Gary Plauche story is one of the best stories ever.

The father's name is Aaron Spencer, the case is in Lonoke County, Ar. He caught up to the man with his daughter in a truck, rammed it to make it stop, emptied his Glock 19 Gen 4 into the pedophile, pistol whipped him and then reloaded. I say good for him.

Not clicking the link, but how old was the girl and why was she in the guys truck?

Girl was 14. The pedo was the boyfriend of a family friend and he groomed the teen and then kidnapped and raped her. Pedo got what he deserved.

Not guilty.

That man is a hero.

Case closed

Let's take a look at the details a bit more...

quote:

---

Aaron Spencer was jolted awake by the frantic barks of his daughter’s chihuahua. He checked the bedroom of the 14-year-old, and she appeared to be fast asleep, tucked beneath the covers.

But then he looked more closely. It was a stuffed animal, wrapped in her hoodie. She was gone.

Three months earlier the teen, then 13, revealed she’d been sexually abused by a 67-year-old man she met at the home of a family friend. The alleged abuser, Michael Fosler, had been arrested but was out on bond while facing dozens of charges, including internet stalking of a child and sexual assault.

And now, just after midnight on October 8, the teen had disappeared. Spencer jumped into his Ford truck and began searching the roads around their home in Lonoke County, Arkansas. His wife, Heather Spencer, called 911 and checked with relatives to see if their daughter was with them.

Driving through the dark about 10 miles east of town, Spencer spotted what appeared to be Fosler’s white Ford F-150 with his daughter in the passenger’s seat, he told sheriff’s deputies in an affidavit. Spencer made a U-turn and pursued the vehicle, flashing his headlights and blaring his horn. At the next intersection, he said he rear-ended Fosler’s truck, forcing it off the road.

But Spencer told authorities that after he noticed Fosler’s truck on the highway, he gave chase and rammed into it at the next intersection. His daughter tried to exit the passenger side, but Fosler grabbed her, Spencer said, according to the affidavit.

Spencer ordered him to get out of the car, but Fosler “lunged towards him” with something in his hand and shouted, “F**k you,” according to the affidavit. Spencer fired at Fosler until his weapon was empty, then jumped on him and pistol-whipped him, the affidavit said.
He said he then took his daughter out of the truck, reloaded his Glock 19 Gen4 and called 911.

Spencer told the dispatcher that the “man who kidnapped” his daughter was “dead on the side of the road.” He told them he “had no choice,” he said, according to the affidavit. Authorities have not commented on whether Fosler was carrying a weapon.

And then there's this...

quote:

---

Because she was the only witness to Fosler’s sexual assault charges, the family feared their daughter was in grave danger. “At that time, she’s the only thing standing between him and life in prison,” Cassinelli said.

---

quote:

---

Fosler was facing 43 criminal counts, including internet stalking of a child, sexual assault, sexual indecency with a child and possession of child pornography. It’s unclear whether all the charges are related to Spencer’s daughter.

quote:

---

Fosler pleaded not guilty last September and was released on a $50,000 bond. He was ordered not to have contact with Spencer’s daughter, her mother said. His attorney at the time did not respond to CNN’s requests for comment.

The family said they believed the felony charges and no-contact order would keep Fosler away from their daughter.

I disagree, it sounds like just the right amount of vigilantism to me. Extra points for the pistol-whipping after shooting the piece of trash.

I’m assuming you don’t have a daughter.
