It took only a week for the central Kansas police chief who led an August raid on the local newspaper to go from looking like he had enough support at city hall to keep his job to resigning
FILE - The offices of the Marion County Record weekly newspaper sit across the street from the Marion County, Kan., Courthouse, Aug. 21, 2023, in Marion. The police chief who led a highly criticized raid of the small Kansas newspaper is suspended, the mayor confirmed to The Associated Press on Saturday, Sept. 30. Marion Mayor Dave Mayfield in a text said he suspended Chief Gideon Cody on Thursday, Sept. 28.
In internal police reports and applications to a judge for search warrants, Cody said he had evidence of crimes involving the circulation of information about Newell's driving record. She owns two Marion restaurants and obtained the City Council's backing for a state liquor license for one of them Aug. 1.
The Record obtained the letter and verified its authenticity through an online state database, using the driver's license number and date of birth for Newell, which were contained in the document. Publisher Eric Meyer told Cody via email that the paper got the document from a source it did not name. That was Aug. 4.
In another email, sent to the local prosecutor, he outlined what he thought the evidence was showing, giving it the subject line, “Crimes?” That prosecutor would later say there wasn't enough evidence to justify the raids. Meyer lived at the home with his 98-year-old mother, Joan, the paper's co-owner, who died the day after the raid. He blames stress caused by the raid for her death.
