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.

“Marion County Record editor Eric Meyer is not only severely anguished over what happened to (and at) his family’s newspaper, but is heartbroken over the loss of his mother, who was literally hounded to death by Chief Cody and his army of law enforcement officers,” an exhaustive 137-page federal complaint filed in the U.S. District Court of for the District of Kansas states.
