In addition to the murder charge, M.K. McKinney, Michael McKinney, and family friend Josh Mullins are each facing eight counts of evidence tampering. Investigators allege the three attempted to conceal or destroy evidence following Spradlin’s death.
On December 12, Special Judge Eddy Coleman set McKinney’s final bond at $1,005,000 in property and $450,000 in cash. According to receipts from the Pike Circuit Court Clerk’s Office, the cash bond was posted by M.K.'s father, Michael McKinney around 2:30 PM this afternoon.
As part of his release, McKinney will remain on home incarceration with GPS monitoring and must follow strict conditions. He is prohibited from living with either co-defendant, driving, possessing weapons, or using alcohol or drugs. He may only use one approved doctor and pharmacy and will be subject to random drug and alcohol testing.
