... 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. The charge was announced earlier last week when special prosecutors who reviewed the case released a 124-page report detailing their findings. Prosecutors formally filed the case on Monday in Marion County District Court. The criminal complaint against Cody lists the date of the crime as between Aug. 11 and Aug. 17. ... The controversial raid was carried out as the Marion Police Department investigated allegations that a reporter had illegally accessed Newell's driving records from the Kansas Department of Revenue. However, the department of revenue confirmed to The Star that the driving records were on a public-facing website. Search warrants were executed at the newspaper, the home of publishers Joan and Eric Meyer and former Vice Mayor Ruth Herbel. Officers seized computers, cell phones and other items. Body camera footage shows a phone call the day of the raid where Cody provides Newell with a play-by-play of the day's events. Newell told KSHB that she had deleted texts between her and Cody at his behest. ...

There was a thread here about it.
I remember being disgusted by this story. Didn't the grandmother collapse and die right after the raid? I thought he should be arrested for murder.
Accountability. What a concept!

@#3 ... Accountability. What a concept! ...
It took a while for the recent charge to be brought. Justice moves slowly at times.
From the article, there are also other filings in process.
