Oklahoma Police Detective Guilty Of Murdering His Chief At Pensacola Beach Hotel

April 1, 2021

A former small town Oklahoma police detective has been convicted in Escambia County of killing his police chief during a law enforcement conference on Pensacola Beach in 2019.

Michael Patrick Nealey, 50, was found guilty of second degree murder for the death of Mannford Police Chief Lucky Miller.

It took a jury about two hours Wednesday to return the guilty verdict. Nealey will be sentenced on April 29.

Prosecutors said the murder was the result of an alcohol-fueled night. Prosecutors say the medical examiner determined Miller was beaten and strangled or suffocated to death.

    Glad he was found guilty for what he did…put him in prison so he can receive the punishment he deserves….the other inmates will take care of him

    This is a very tragic incident involving these two men.
    Even more so there are two families and more suffering this lose of life.

    I feel these were two good men and alcohol changed the lives of many.
    God bless .both the men and the families that are affected
    That kind of pain hurts
    If we could see in the future perhaps many things would not have taken place
    Still…God Bless
