Raided newspaper in small town takes on mayor, police chief, sheriff in sprawling lawsuit alleging revenge and possible wrongful death

Crying and clutching a walker, Joan Meyer, 98, told the armed police chief standing in her living room last summer that if they kept ransacking the house she shared with her son Eric Meyer, 70 — her co-publisher of the Marion County Record in Kansas, a newspaper serving under 2,000 people — they were going to kill her from the stress.

“This is the worst thing I’ve ever seen … This is the first time I’ve ever had police in my house threatening me … I’m not dumb. I may be ninety-some years old, but I know what’s going on. And what’s going on is illegal as hell,” Joan Meyer said after she tried to call her son whose phone, “in a cruel twist,” a new lawsuit against the county’s mayor, police chief and sheriff alleges, was already “tucked inside an evidence bag” by police who obtained it with a warrant based on false statements.

Joan Meyer died the next day. She suffered cardiac arrest.

  1. Thugs like this are why the anarchist political movement has become legitimate. We can have government without having a central state entity. Defund the police and smash them into one hundred billion pieces, defund the state.

    1. You still think the so-called ROL exists? Think again, and this time use reality.

  4. Good Lord, what a mess. Let us pray for a righteous man here to sort this out. Chips may fall where they may. All are presumed innocent unless found guilty in a court of law. A 90+ year old woman... administratively frightened to death, apparently. And for what... what, really? SAD!
