Former Mannford, Okla., police officer Michael Nealey has been found guilty of the second-degree murder of Mannford Police Chief Lucky Miller.
Nealey killed Miller inside a Florida hotel room in November 2019 while they were in the state for a law enforcement conference in Pensacola.
Court documents obtained by KFOR state that other hotel guests complained about the noise coming from the room that Nealey and Miller were in; one witness reported hearing a man yell, “Stop it, Mike!”
A maintenance worker who went inside the room told deputies he saw Nealey on top of Miller, who was laying on the floor.
Prosecutors said the murder was the result of an alcohol-fueled night on November 10, 2019. The state says the medical examiner determined Miller was beaten and strangled or suffocated to death.
The medical examiner said Miller was internally decapitated, which would require the same force one would face in a car crash.
Nealey is set to return back in court on April 29th for his sentencing.
