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 specially 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 bath room. Christopher Thomas Collins, forty two, was
removed from his position as a deacon at ABBA's House
in Hickson 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
(02:28):
explicit 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.
(02:49):
The woman told 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 case cameras
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.
(03:09):
He later gave them permission 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
(03:31):
deleting it. Police conducted a forensic 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
(03:54):
House said Collins lost his deacon 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
(04:15):
of the church for four years and served as a deacon.
He has been removed 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.
(04:35):
Two other men were charged with being an accessory before
the murder or the 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
(04:57):
the Maverick Restaurant lounge, and that surveillance footage showed an
upset Jesse Dollard pointing to Denivan just before his relatives
launched an attack on him. Justin Dollard claimed that Denavan
yelled he would kick his eyes 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
(05:18):
that his father, Justin Dollard, gets hot headed and went
after it, and that Richard Dollard 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.
(05:41):
Justin Dollard kicked him after he fell to the floor.
The person who called nine one 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 crime and
