On Aug. 11 police in Marion, Kansas, raided the office of The Marion County Record as well as the homes of the paper’s publisher and a city counselor member. Police confiscated computers, cell phones and files from the small-town newspaper. The police chief, Gideon Cody, cited an illegal records search of a local business owner by reporter Deb Gruver as grounds for the search.
