00:00:00,440 --> 00:00:04,800
Speaker 1: Crime Alard, hourly update, breaking crime news Now. I'm Sidney Sumner.

2
00:00:05,080 --> 00:00:07,440
Speaker 1: A Missouri man is charged with gunning down his neighbor

3
00:00:07,480 --> 00:00:11,320
Speaker 1: in a violent confrontation that ended a lengthy history of harassment.

4
00:00:11,800 --> 00:00:14,960
Speaker 1: Jeffrey King, forty two, shot forty one year old Chris

5
00:00:15,000 --> 00:00:18,200
Speaker 1: Wells thirteen times in the street in front of their homes,

6
00:00:18,360 --> 00:00:21,120
Speaker 1: and then tried to blame the victim for hitting him first.

7
00:00:21,520 --> 00:00:24,040
Speaker 1: When police arrived on the scene, they found King with

8
00:00:24,120 --> 00:00:26,600
Speaker 1: his hands up and Wells lying on the ground. When

9
00:00:26,640 --> 00:00:29,880
Speaker 1: asked what happened, he replied, he attacked me, punched me

10
00:00:29,920 --> 00:00:32,839
Speaker 1: in the face, and I shot him dead. Two juvenile

11
00:00:32,880 --> 00:00:35,559
Speaker 1: witnesses told police they watched from a car as King

12
00:00:35,600 --> 00:00:38,520
Speaker 1: stood over the victim. They observed King shoot the victim

13
00:00:38,560 --> 00:00:40,839
Speaker 1: in the back as the victim was lying face down

14
00:00:40,920 --> 00:00:43,960
Speaker 1: on the ground. Wells's wife told police that King had

15
00:00:44,000 --> 00:00:46,960
Speaker 1: a history of harassing neighbors that began before they moved

16
00:00:46,960 --> 00:00:49,320
Speaker 1: into the neighborhood in twenty twenty three, and that the

17
00:00:49,360 --> 00:00:52,760
Speaker 1: harassment had been documented by both the homeowners association and

18
00:00:52,840 --> 00:00:55,920
Speaker 1: law enforcement. The incident that ended with Wells's death on

19
00:00:56,000 --> 00:00:58,640
Speaker 1: Monday began when the wife was out walking her dog

20
00:00:58,880 --> 00:01:01,680
Speaker 1: when she saw King arrow a blanket onto her front yard.

21
00:01:02,040 --> 00:01:04,399
Speaker 1: She went inside and called her husband at work, and

22
00:01:04,440 --> 00:01:07,120
Speaker 1: he came home to confront King. The two met in

23
00:01:07,160 --> 00:01:10,120
Speaker 1: the street and a physical altercation began that ended with

24
00:01:10,200 --> 00:01:13,240
Speaker 1: multiple gunshots. The wife did not see the shooting, but

25
00:01:13,280 --> 00:01:15,840
Speaker 1: came out and saw Wells lying in the street. The

26
00:01:15,880 --> 00:01:18,959
Speaker 1: affidavit concludes with the statement that King has been involved

27
00:01:18,959 --> 00:01:21,720
Speaker 1: in a long running series of confrontations with his neighbors,

28
00:01:21,840 --> 00:01:25,520
Speaker 1: which of overtime, only escalated in severity. Neighbors came to

29
00:01:25,560 --> 00:01:28,320
Speaker 1: court on Wednesday when King pleaded not guilty to murder

30
00:01:28,360 --> 00:01:32,440
Speaker 1: an armed criminal action. Courtney Brown said, quote, I'm sickened.

31
00:01:32,640 --> 00:01:35,399
Speaker 1: I was just intently focused on him, looking at him,

32
00:01:35,440 --> 00:01:37,800
Speaker 1: and just trying to think how someone could be so vain.

33
00:01:38,040 --> 00:01:41,080
Speaker 1: She called Wells a very good guy. Quote, he didn't

34
00:01:41,120 --> 00:01:43,240
Speaker 1: deserve to be the one to get gun down like that.

35
00:01:43,600 --> 00:01:45,800
Speaker 1: I just hope that justice is served and he gets

36
00:01:45,800 --> 00:01:48,640
Speaker 1: what he deserves. King was ordered held on a five

37
00:01:48,680 --> 00:01:51,360
Speaker 1: million dollar bond, with a hearing set for next Tuesday.

38
00:01:51,760 --> 00:01:56,559
Speaker 1: More crime and justice news. After this, a Tennessee church

39
00:01:56,640 --> 00:01:59,520
Speaker 1: deacon was arrested Wednesday and charged with nine counts of

40
00:01:59,520 --> 00:02:03,400
Speaker 1: a specially aggravated sexual exploitation of a miner after his

41
00:02:03,520 --> 00:02:06,200
Speaker 1: wife found photos and videos on his phone of a

42
00:02:06,240 --> 00:02:10,200
Speaker 1: teenage babysitter using the toilet and shower and changing clothes

43
00:02:10,200 --> 00:02:13,680
Speaker 1: in their bath room. Christopher Thomas Collins, forty two, was

44
00:02:13,720 --> 00:02:16,560
Speaker 1: removed from his position as a deacon at ABBA's House

45
00:02:16,600 --> 00:02:20,040
Speaker 1: in Hickson after his arrest. And arrest affidavit says that

46
00:02:20,080 --> 00:02:22,320
Speaker 1: Collins asked his wife to hold his phone while he

47
00:02:22,360 --> 00:02:25,000
Speaker 1: was undergoing a medical procedure, and she looked at his

48
00:02:25,080 --> 00:02:28,919
Speaker 1: phone for evidence of suspected infidelity. What she found were

49
00:02:28,960 --> 00:02:32,520
Speaker 1: explicit images of their former babysitter, a fifteen year old

50
00:02:32,520 --> 00:02:36,000
Speaker 1: family acquaintance. She said she first deleted the files, which

51
00:02:36,000 --> 00:02:38,360
Speaker 1: appeared to have been recorded on cameras hidden in the

52
00:02:38,360 --> 00:02:41,760
Speaker 1: homes downstairs bathroom, but then took screenshots from the phone's

53
00:02:41,800 --> 00:02:45,240
Speaker 1: recently deleted folder. Then she sought guidance from her church

54
00:02:45,400 --> 00:02:48,560
Speaker 1: ABBA's House, where staff members urged her to contact police.

55
00:02:49,040 --> 00:02:52,000
Speaker 1: The woman told police she confronted Collins about the cameras,

56
00:02:52,200 --> 00:02:54,360
Speaker 1: and he told her he had installed the cameras to

57
00:02:54,360 --> 00:02:58,040
Speaker 1: look for rats. The arrest report reads. She further reported

58
00:02:58,080 --> 00:03:00,360
Speaker 1: that her husband stated he had forgotten the case cameras

59
00:03:00,400 --> 00:03:02,880
Speaker 1: were recording, and claimed he hid the files from her

60
00:03:02,960 --> 00:03:06,799
Speaker 1: to avoid jealousy. Police quickly took Collins into custody, fearing

61
00:03:06,840 --> 00:03:09,560
Speaker 1: that evidence could be destroyed, and seized his cell phone.

62
00:03:09,800 --> 00:03:12,080
Speaker 1: He later gave them permission to search the phone and

63
00:03:12,160 --> 00:03:15,120
Speaker 1: his home. At the home, they found small cameras and

64
00:03:15,200 --> 00:03:18,440
Speaker 1: an older cell phone, and obtained SD cards from them.

65
00:03:18,760 --> 00:03:21,200
Speaker 1: One camera was near the water heater in the bathroom,

66
00:03:21,360 --> 00:03:24,760
Speaker 1: focused on the shower and toilet. Collins told police that

67
00:03:24,800 --> 00:03:27,040
Speaker 1: he knew about the cameras and used a mobile app

68
00:03:27,080 --> 00:03:29,480
Speaker 1: to view images from them, saying that he had seen

69
00:03:29,520 --> 00:03:31,680
Speaker 1: a nude image and kept it for a while before

70
00:03:31,680 --> 00:03:35,720
Speaker 1: deleting it. Police conducted a forensic examination of Colin's phone

71
00:03:35,800 --> 00:03:39,040
Speaker 1: and found nine video files recorded on hidden cameras in

72
00:03:39,080 --> 00:03:42,160
Speaker 1: the bathroom. They showed a girl entering and exiting the shower,

73
00:03:42,440 --> 00:03:45,440
Speaker 1: using the toilet, and changing clothes. They were all time

74
00:03:45,480 --> 00:03:48,720
Speaker 1: stamped for last year. The affidavit said the videos were

75
00:03:48,760 --> 00:03:51,120
Speaker 1: taken without the girl's knowledge and in a place she

76
00:03:51,160 --> 00:03:54,920
Speaker 1: had a reasonable expectation of privacy. A spokesperson for ABBA's

77
00:03:54,960 --> 00:03:58,080
Speaker 1: House said Collins lost his deacon title when he was arrested.

78
00:03:58,280 --> 00:04:01,120
Speaker 1: The church released a statement. Through the course of a

79
00:04:01,160 --> 00:04:04,280
Speaker 1: marriage counseling session, Chris Collins's wife revealed that she had

80
00:04:04,280 --> 00:04:07,000
Speaker 1: found videos on her husband's phone of a miner. We

81
00:04:07,080 --> 00:04:09,760
Speaker 1: immediately reported it to the police and they are handling

82
00:04:09,760 --> 00:04:12,480
Speaker 1: the situation. We are caring for his wife and kids

83
00:04:12,560 --> 00:04:15,480
Speaker 1: during this tragic time. Chris Collins had been a member

84
00:04:15,480 --> 00:04:17,800
Speaker 1: of the church for four years and served as a deacon.

85
00:04:18,120 --> 00:04:21,039
Speaker 1: He has been removed from that role. Collins is being

86
00:04:21,080 --> 00:04:23,440
Speaker 1: held on a four hundred and fifty thousand dollars bond.

87
00:04:24,040 --> 00:04:26,919
Speaker 1: A US Bureau of Land Management officer has been charged

88
00:04:26,920 --> 00:04:29,440
Speaker 1: with second degree murder after a drunken brawl at a

89
00:04:29,480 --> 00:04:33,200
Speaker 1: Wyoming bar last week left a man dead. Lander Police

90
00:04:33,200 --> 00:04:35,560
Speaker 1: did not name the man charged with second degree murder.

91
00:04:35,680 --> 00:04:38,159
Speaker 1: Two other men were charged with being an accessory before

92
00:04:38,200 --> 00:04:40,760
Speaker 1: the murder or the victim who died in the January

93
00:04:40,839 --> 00:04:44,800
Speaker 1: ninth fight. However, Cowboy State Daily identifies the killer as

94
00:04:44,920 --> 00:04:48,359
Speaker 1: Richard Dake Dollard and the victim as Evan Denevan. The

95
00:04:48,400 --> 00:04:51,040
Speaker 1: two other men arrested were Dollard's brother, fifty four year

96
00:04:51,040 --> 00:04:53,560
Speaker 1: old Justin Dollard, and his nephew, twenty one year old

97
00:04:53,640 --> 00:04:57,000
Speaker 1: Jesse Dollard. Charging documents say the brawl took place at

98
00:04:57,000 --> 00:05:00,279
Speaker 1: the Maverick Restaurant lounge, and that surveillance footage showed an

99
00:05:00,360 --> 00:05:03,800
Speaker 1: upset Jesse Dollard pointing to Denivan just before his relatives

100
00:05:03,839 --> 00:05:07,200
Speaker 1: launched an attack on him. Justin Dollard claimed that Denavan

101
00:05:07,279 --> 00:05:09,440
Speaker 1: yelled he would kick his eyes and took off his

102
00:05:09,520 --> 00:05:12,600
Speaker 1: hat and glasses to fight. He claimed Denivan hit him

103
00:05:12,640 --> 00:05:15,440
Speaker 1: first and that at one point his brother pulled Denovan

104
00:05:15,480 --> 00:05:18,840
Speaker 1: back to de escalate the situation. Jesse Dollard told police

105
00:05:18,839 --> 00:05:21,760
Speaker 1: that his father, Justin Dollard, gets hot headed and went

106
00:05:21,800 --> 00:05:24,160
Speaker 1: after it, and that Richard Dollard broke up the fight

107
00:05:24,240 --> 00:05:27,160
Speaker 1: because he is trained in de escalation, but the surveillance

108
00:05:27,200 --> 00:05:29,920
Speaker 1: video showed around eight to ten people fighting when Richard

109
00:05:29,960 --> 00:05:33,479
Speaker 1: Dollard's version of de escalation, putting Denivan in a rear

110
00:05:33,720 --> 00:05:37,680
Speaker 1: naked chokehold began. Dollard held Denivan in the chokehold for

111
00:05:37,720 --> 00:05:40,839
Speaker 1: about thirty seconds before letting him fall to the floor limp.

112
00:05:41,320 --> 00:05:43,760
Speaker 1: Justin Dollard kicked him after he fell to the floor.

113
00:05:44,240 --> 00:05:46,719
Speaker 1: The person who called nine one one reported that Denivan

114
00:05:46,839 --> 00:05:49,839
Speaker 1: was not breathing and was all purple witnesses attempted to

115
00:05:49,880 --> 00:05:52,560
Speaker 1: revive him until police arrived and took over, but none

116
00:05:52,600 --> 00:05:55,560
Speaker 1: were able to resuscitate him. For the latest crime and
