Gideon Cody, the small-town Kansas police chief who spearheaded a raid on the Marion County Record, resigned Monday, Marion Mayor David Mayfield said. Mayfield hired Cody in the spring and suspended him last week without explanation. At Monday’s Marion City Council meeting, Mayfield announced Cody handed in his resignation before the meeting, “effective immediately.” Mayfield declined to talk to reporters after the meeting and offered no explanation for Cody’s departure.

Mayor is starting to realize just how much this fuck around will cost the city. Unlikely going to keep his job either.

Ruth herbel is gonna get his job. (They raided her too, took her computer, and boy do they have some drama with the good ole boys).

They tried to recall her for sending a text that says "Thanks."
