A Missouri man is charged with gunning down his neighbor
in a violent confrontation that ended a lengthy history of harassment.
Jeffrey King, forty two, shot forty one year old Chris
Wells thirteen times in the street in front of their homes,
and then tried to blame the victim for hitting him first.
(00:21):
When police arrived on the scene, they found King with
his hands up and Wells lying on the ground. When
asked what happened, he replied, he attacked me, punched me
in the face, and I shot him dead. Two juvenile
witnesses told police they watched from a car as King
stood over the victim. They observed King shoot the victim
in the back as the victim was lying face down
on the ground. Wells's wife told police that King had
(00:44):
a history of harassing neighbors that began before they moved
into the neighborhood in twenty twenty three, and that the
harassment had been documented by both the homeowners association and
law enforcement. The incident that ended with Wells's death on
Monday began when the wife was out walking her dog
when she saw King arrow a blanket onto her front yard.
She went inside and called her husband at work, and
(01:04):
he came home to confront King. The two met in
the street and a physical altercation began that ended with
multiple gunshots. The wife did not see the shooting, but
came out and saw Wells lying in the street. The
affidavit concludes with the statement that King has been involved
in a long running series of confrontations with his neighbors,
which of overtime, only escalated in severity. Neighbors came to
(01:25):
court on Wednesday when King pleaded not guilty to murder
an armed criminal action. Courtney Brown said, quote, I'm sickened.
I was just intently focused on him, looking at him,
and just trying to think how someone could be so vain.
She called Wells a very good guy. Quote, he didn't
deserve to be the one to get gun down like that.
I just hope that justice is served and he gets
(01:45):
what he deserves. King was ordered held on a five
million dollar bond, with a hearing set for next Tuesday.
More crime and justice news. After this, a Tennessee church
deacon was arrested Wednesday and charged with nine counts of
a special aggravated sexual exploitation of a miner after his
wife found photos and videos on his phone of a
(02:06):
teenage babysitter using the toilet and shower and changing clothes
in their bathroom. Christopher Thomas Collins, forty two, was removed
from his position as a deacon at ABBA's House in
Hixon after his arrest. And arrest affidavit says that Collins
asked his wife to hold his phone while he was
undergoing a medical procedure, and she looked at his phone
for evidence of suspected infidelity. What she found were explicit
(02:29):
images of their former babysitter, a fifteen year old family acquaintance.
She said she first deleted the files, which appeared to
have been recorded on cameras hidden in the homes downstairs bathroom,
but then took screenshots from the phone's recently deleted folder.
Then she sought guidance from her church ABBA's House, where
staff members urged her to contact police. The woman told
(02:49):
police she confronted Collins about the cameras, and he told
her he had installed the cameras to look for rats,
The arrest report reads. She further reported that her husband
stated he had forgotten the camp were recording and claimed
he hid the files from her to avoid jealousy. Police
quickly took Collins into custody, fearing that evidence could be destroyed,
and seized his cell phone. He later gave them permission
(03:11):
to search the phone and his home. At the home,
they found small cameras and an older cell phone, and
obtained SD cards from them. One camera was near the
water heater in the bathroom, focused on the shower and toilet.
Collins told police that he knew about the cameras and
used a mobile app to view images from them, saying
that he had seen a nude image and kept it
for a while before deleting it. Police conducted a forensic
(03:34):
examination of Colin's phone and found nine video files recorded
on hidden cameras in the bathroom. They showed a girl
entering and exiting the shower, using the toilet, and changing clothes.
They were all time stamped for last year. The affidavit
said the videos were taken without the girl's knowledge and
in a place she had a reasonable expectation of privacy.
A spokesperson for ABBA's House said Collins lost his deacon
(03:56):
title when he was arrested. The church released a statement
through the course of a marriage counseling session, Chris Collins's
wife revealed that she had found videos on her husband's
phone of a miner. We immediately reported it to the
police and they are handling the situation. We are caring
for his wife and kids during this tragic time. Chris
Collins had been a member of the church for four
years and served as a deacon. He has been removed
(04:18):
from that role. Collins is being held on a four
hundred and fifty thousand dollars bond. A US Bureau of
Land Management officer has been charged with second degree murder
after a drunken brawl at a Wyoming bar last week
left a man dead. Lander Police did not name the
man charged with second degree murder. Two other men were
charged with being an accessory before the murder or the
(04:39):
victim who died in the January ninth fight. However, Cowboy
State Daily identifies the killer as Richard Dake Dollard and
the victim as Evan Denevan. The two other men arrested
were Dollard's brother, fifty four year old Justin Dollard, and
his nephew, twenty one year old Jesse Dollard. Charging documents
say the brawl took place at the Maverick restaurant lounge,
and that surveillance footag showed upset Jesse Dollard pointing to
(05:02):
Denivan just before his relatives launched an attack on him.
Justin Dollard claimed that Denavan yelled he would kick his
and took off his hat and glasses to fight. He
claimed Denivan hit him first and that at one point
his brother pulled Denovan back to de escalate the situation.
Jesse Dollard told police that his father, Justin Dollard, gets
hot headed and went after it, and that Richard Dollard
(05:23):
broke up the fight because he is trained in de escalation,
but the surveillance video showed around eight to ten people
fighting when Richard Dollard's version of de escalation, putting Denivan
in a rear naked chokehold began. Dollard held Denivan in
the chokehold for about thirty seconds before letting him fall
to the floor limp. Justin Dollard kicked him after he
fell to the floor. The person who called nine one
(05:45):
one reported that Denivan was not breathing and was all purple.
Witnesses attempted to revive him until police arrived and took over,
but none were able to resuscitate him. For the latest
