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.

@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

@b4cks4w A day after police raided Meyer's home, his 98-year-old mother, Record co-owner Joan Meyer, died. He blamed her death on stress caused by the raids. The report acknowledged that Joan Meyer was extremely upset by the searches and may not have died if the raids had not been carried out
