Charges & Allegations

Springfield police officer Daniel Billingsley was one of several off-duty officers indicted in 2019 for a violent assault on four civilians outside Nathan Bill’s Bar in 2015. Prosecutors alleged Billingsley and others beat and kicked the victims in a racially motivated attack, then helped cover it up. In 2022, a jury convicted Billingsley of multiple misdemeanor assault and battery charges (while acquitting him of more serious felonies), and he awaits sentencing for his role in the brawl.

Why This Matters

By organizing this data, we can potentially demonstrate when officers were previously aware of laws they later claim ignorance of, challenging qualified immunity defenses and promoting accountability.
