A Polk County man has been arrested and charged in connection to the murder of his neighbor earlier this week. TBI agents began working alongside the Polk County Sheriff’s Office to investigate the death of a man shortly after deputies found his remains on Fingerboard Road. During the investigation, authorities developed information leading to 58-year-old Mitchell Edward Mingie (DOB 12-22-62) as the person responsible for killing the man and improperly disposing of his remains. Authorities did not immediately release the victim’s name pending next-of-kin notification. On Tuesday, deputies arrested Mingie and charged him with one count of Second-Degree Murder and one count of Abuse of a Corpse. Authorities subsequently booked Mingie into the Polk County Jail.
