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
00:00:11,760 --> 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 --> 00:00:21,119
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 --> 00:00:26,560
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 --> 00:00:35,519
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 --> 00:00:40,880
Speaker 1: in the back as the victim was lying face down

14
00:00:40,880 --> 00:00:43,960
Speaker 1: on the ground. Wells's wife told police that King had

15
00:00:44,000 --> 00:00:46,920
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 --> 00:00:52,720
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 --> 00:01:13,200
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 --> 00:01:18,960
Speaker 1: affidavit concludes with the statement that King has been involved

27
00:01:18,959 --> 00:01:21,759
Speaker 1: in a long running series of confrontations with his neighbors,

28
00:01:21,800 --> 00:01:25,480
Speaker 1: which of overtime, only escalated in severity. Neighbors came to

29
00:01:25,520 --> 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 --> 00:01:35,360
Speaker 1: I was just intently focused on him, looking at him,

32
00:01:35,400 --> 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 --> 00:01:43,200
Speaker 1: deserve to be the one to get gun down like that.

35
00:01:43,560 --> 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
00:01:48,640 --> 00:01:51,320
Speaker 1: million dollar bond, with a hearing set for next Tuesday.

38
00:01:51,760 --> 00:01:56,480
Speaker 1: More crime and justice news. After this, a Tennessee church

39
00:01:56,560 --> 00:01:59,440
Speaker 1: deacon was arrested Wednesday and charged with nine counts of

40
00:01:59,440 --> 00:02:03,320
Speaker 1: a special aggravated sexual exploitation of a miner after his

41
00:02:03,440 --> 00:02:06,120
Speaker 1: wife found photos and videos on his phone of a

42
00:02:06,160 --> 00:02:10,120
Speaker 1: teenage babysitter using the toilet and shower and changing clothes

43
00:02:10,120 --> 00:02:14,040
Speaker 1: in their bathroom. Christopher Thomas Collins, forty two, was removed

44
00:02:14,040 --> 00:02:16,600
Speaker 1: from his position as a deacon at ABBA's House in

45
00:02:16,680 --> 00:02:20,400
Speaker 1: Hixon after his arrest. And arrest affidavit says that Collins

46
00:02:20,440 --> 00:02:22,360
Speaker 1: asked his wife to hold his phone while he was

47
00:02:22,440 --> 00:02:25,240
Speaker 1: undergoing a medical procedure, and she looked at his phone

48
00:02:25,280 --> 00:02:29,400
Speaker 1: for evidence of suspected infidelity. What she found were explicit

49
00:02:29,440 --> 00:02:33,480
Speaker 1: images of their former babysitter, a fifteen year old family acquaintance.

50
00:02:33,919 --> 00:02:36,360
Speaker 1: She said she first deleted the files, which appeared to

51
00:02:36,400 --> 00:02:39,680
Speaker 1: have been recorded on cameras hidden in the homes downstairs bathroom,

52
00:02:39,840 --> 00:02:43,040
Speaker 1: but then took screenshots from the phone's recently deleted folder.

53
00:02:43,440 --> 00:02:46,320
Speaker 1: Then she sought guidance from her church ABBA's House, where

54
00:02:46,360 --> 00:02:49,600
Speaker 1: staff members urged her to contact police. The woman told

55
00:02:49,600 --> 00:02:52,640
Speaker 1: police she confronted Collins about the cameras, and he told

56
00:02:52,680 --> 00:02:55,080
Speaker 1: her he had installed the cameras to look for rats,

57
00:02:55,520 --> 00:02:58,560
Speaker 1: The arrest report reads. She further reported that her husband

58
00:02:58,639 --> 00:03:01,640
Speaker 1: stated he had forgotten the camp were recording and claimed

59
00:03:01,639 --> 00:03:04,600
Speaker 1: he hid the files from her to avoid jealousy. Police

60
00:03:04,680 --> 00:03:08,160
Speaker 1: quickly took Collins into custody, fearing that evidence could be destroyed,

61
00:03:08,280 --> 00:03:11,000
Speaker 1: and seized his cell phone. He later gave them permission

62
00:03:11,000 --> 00:03:13,600
Speaker 1: to search the phone and his home. At the home,

63
00:03:13,680 --> 00:03:16,480
Speaker 1: they found small cameras and an older cell phone, and

64
00:03:16,520 --> 00:03:19,760
Speaker 1: obtained SD cards from them. One camera was near the

65
00:03:19,800 --> 00:03:23,000
Speaker 1: water heater in the bathroom, focused on the shower and toilet.

66
00:03:23,520 --> 00:03:25,960
Speaker 1: Collins told police that he knew about the cameras and

67
00:03:26,040 --> 00:03:28,720
Speaker 1: used a mobile app to view images from them, saying

68
00:03:28,760 --> 00:03:30,680
Speaker 1: that he had seen a nude image and kept it

69
00:03:30,720 --> 00:03:34,000
Speaker 1: for a while before deleting it. Police conducted a forensic

70
00:03:34,040 --> 00:03:37,800
Speaker 1: examination of Colin's phone and found nine video files recorded

71
00:03:37,880 --> 00:03:40,560
Speaker 1: on hidden cameras in the bathroom. They showed a girl

72
00:03:40,720 --> 00:03:44,240
Speaker 1: entering and exiting the shower, using the toilet, and changing clothes.

73
00:03:44,480 --> 00:03:47,760
Speaker 1: They were all time stamped for last year. The affidavit

74
00:03:47,840 --> 00:03:50,360
Speaker 1: said the videos were taken without the girl's knowledge and

75
00:03:50,400 --> 00:03:53,080
Speaker 1: in a place she had a reasonable expectation of privacy.

76
00:03:53,520 --> 00:03:56,560
Speaker 1: A spokesperson for ABBA's House said Collins lost his deacon

77
00:03:56,640 --> 00:03:59,600
Speaker 1: title when he was arrested. The church released a statement

78
00:04:00,280 --> 00:04:03,120
Speaker 1: through the course of a marriage counseling session, Chris Collins's

79
00:04:03,160 --> 00:04:05,600
Speaker 1: wife revealed that she had found videos on her husband's

80
00:04:05,600 --> 00:04:08,400
Speaker 1: phone of a miner. We immediately reported it to the

81
00:04:08,440 --> 00:04:11,320
Speaker 1: police and they are handling the situation. We are caring

82
00:04:11,360 --> 00:04:14,360
Speaker 1: for his wife and kids during this tragic time. Chris

83
00:04:14,400 --> 00:04:16,279
Speaker 1: Collins had been a member of the church for four

84
00:04:16,360 --> 00:04:18,920
Speaker 1: years and served as a deacon. He has been removed

85
00:04:18,920 --> 00:04:21,640
Speaker 1: from that role. Collins is being held on a four

86

Speaker 1: hundred and fifty thousand dollars bond. A US Bureau of

87
00:04:25,080 --> 00:04:28,040
Speaker 1: Land Management officer has been charged with second degree murder

88
00:04:28,080 --> 00:04:30,720
Speaker 1: after a drunken brawl at a Wyoming bar last week

89
00:04:30,839 --> 00:04:33,800
Speaker 1: left a man dead. Lander Police did not name the

90
00:04:33,839 --> 00:04:36,440
Speaker 1: man charged with second degree murder. Two other men were

91
00:04:36,520 --> 00:04:38,960
Speaker 1: charged with being an accessory before the murder or the

92
00:04:39,080 --> 00:04:42,760
Speaker 1: victim who died in the January ninth fight. However, Cowboy

93
00:04:42,800 --> 00:04:46,200
Speaker 1: State Daily identifies the killer as Richard Dake Dollard and

94
00:04:46,240 --> 00:04:49,360
Speaker 1: the victim as Evan Denevan. The two other men arrested

95
00:04:49,360 --> 00:04:52,120
Speaker 1: were Dollard's brother, fifty four year old Justin Dollard, and

96
00:04:52,200 --> 00:04:55,640
Speaker 1: his nephew, twenty one year old Jesse Dollard. Charging documents

97
00:04:55,680 --> 00:04:58,440
Speaker 1: say the brawl took place at the Maverick restaurant lounge,

98
00:04:58,480 --> 00:05:01,960
Speaker 1: and that surveillance footag showed upset Jesse Dollard pointing to

99
00:05:02,000 --> 00:05:05,000
Speaker 1: Denivan just before his relatives launched an attack on him.

100
00:05:05,560 --> 00:05:08,200
Speaker 1: Justin Dollard claimed that Denavan yelled he would kick his

101
00:05:08,680 --> 00:05:11,240
Speaker 1: and took off his hat and glasses to fight. He

102
00:05:11,320 --> 00:05:13,960
Speaker 1: claimed Denivan hit him first and that at one point

103
00:05:14,000 --> 00:05:16,960
Speaker 1: his brother pulled Denovan back to de escalate the situation.

104
00:05:17,520 --> 00:05:20,720
Speaker 1: Jesse Dollard told police that his father, Justin Dollard, gets

105
00:05:20,720 --> 00:05:23,320
Speaker 1: hot headed and went after it, and that Richard Dollard

106
00:05:23,320 --> 00:05:25,760
Speaker 1: broke up the fight because he is trained in de escalation,

107
00:05:26,240 --> 00:05:28,839
Speaker 1: but the surveillance video showed around eight to ten people

108
00:05:28,880 --> 00:05:32,840
Speaker 1: fighting when Richard Dollard's version of de escalation, putting Denivan

109
00:05:32,920 --> 00:05:36,880
Speaker 1: in a rear naked chokehold began. Dollard held Denivan in

110
00:05:36,920 --> 00:05:39,640
Speaker 1: the chokehold for about thirty seconds before letting him fall

111
00:05:39,720 --> 00:05:42,839
Speaker 1: to the floor limp. Justin Dollard kicked him after he

112
00:05:42,880 --> 00:05:45,400
Speaker 1: fell to the floor. The person who called nine one

113
00:05:45,400 --> 00:05:48,359
Speaker 1: one reported that Denivan was not breathing and was all purple.

114
00:05:48,680 --> 00:05:51,840
Speaker 1: Witnesses attempted to revive him until police arrived and took over,

115
00:05:52,080 --> 00:05:55,160
