Special prosecutors plan to file criminal charge against cop who led KS newspaper raid
TOPEKA — Special prosecutors plan to charge former Marion Police Chief Gideon Cody with a low-level felony for his actions following the raid he led last year on the Marion County Record and the homes of the newspaper publisher and a councilwoman.
Lynne's Note ***Low level felony WOW how easy on them they are
@catlynne333 considering it led to a death
@b4cks4w it did ? who died?
@catlynne333 "Meyer’s 98-year-old mother, Joan Meyer, the paper’s co-owner lived with him and died the day after the raid from a heart attack, something Meyer has attributed to the stress of the raid."

@b4cks4w so sad i am sorry they did this and then pleaded ignorance to the law to get out of charges which is illegal
@catlynne333 and: "Police body camera footage of the 2023 raid on Publisher Eric Meyer’s home shows his 98-year-old mother, Joan Meyer, visibly upset and telling officers, “Get out of my house!”
