The Marion County Record began investigating the police chief Gideon Cody, 54, following tips that he had been accused of sexual misconduct
Cody and his entire department raided the office of the newspaper: the 98-year-old co-owner was terrified and aghast, and died the following day
The police department justified the raid by saying it was in response to another story about a possible illegal liquor sales, with 'identity theft' of evidence
