Vice Mayor Ruth Herbel had called for Police Chief Gideon Cody's suspension following raids that included her home and the newsroom of a local paper.
Marion Mayor David Mayfield suspended Police Chief Gideon Cody on Thursday,The Marion Police Department confirmed the suspension on Saturday. The mayor's office did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
The newsroom, it's publisher Eric Meyer’s home and Vice Mayor Ruth Herbel's home were all searched on Aug. 11 following Cody’s stated belief that a reporter had committed identity theft by accessing the driver records of restaurant owner Kari Newell, court documents previously released by the paper’s attorney stated.
The chief wrote in affidavits that"downloading the document involved either impersonating the victim or lying about the reasons why the record was being sought."The newspaper, however, said reporter Phyllis Zorn obtained the records through the state Revenue Department’s online search engine after the newspaper received a tip that Newell was convicted of a DUI in 2008. The publication wanted to know whether that would prevent Newell from having a liquor license.
