Police Chief Who Raided Newspaper Faces Charges

“The former police chief who led a raid on a Kansas newspaper has been charged with a felony,” the Wichita Eagle reports.

“Gideon Cody faces one count of interference with the judicial process, a felony with a possible punishment of seven to 23 months in prison.”

“The case stems from Cody’s actions following the Aug. 11, 2023, raid on the Marion County Record when he allegedly told local businesswoman Kari Newell to delete texts between them.”
