A Springfield police officer has been convicted of a felony.
Jose Diaz was found guilty of misleading an internal affairs investigation into the 2015 fight between off-duty officers and a group of civilians who had crossed paths at Nathan Bill's Restaurant in East Forest Park.
Diaz is the third officer to be convicted in the long-running state case.
He could face jail time at a sentencing next Monday.
Springfield Police Superintendent Cheryl Clapprood won't comment until after the proceedings have ended.
There has been no indication as to whether the officer will remail on the police department.
