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.
