Video Captures Police Raid of Newspaper Co-Owner’s House in Marion, Kansas
The Marion County Record released video today of the police raid on 98-year-old Joan Meyer’s house that her son, Eric Meyer, said contributed to her sudden cardiac arrest and death the next day.
The video captures the stress Joan Meyer, a retired journalist who her son has said was in good health before the raid, faced during her final 24 hours as police filled her living room, rifled through her personal belongings and attempted to block her from moving within her own house.
It also reportedly shows her attempting to call her son through her Alexa smart speaker. His cellphone had already been seized by police at The Record’s newsroom, The Record reported.
The video shows the veteran newswoman didn’t take kindly to what she later described as “Hitler tactics.”
The newspaper’s attorney, who also represents The Star, said they’re exploring the possibility of firing a wrongful death lawsuit in Meyer’s death.
The Aug. 11 raid drew condemnation from free speech advocates across the globe. A search warrant was also executed at the Marion County Record and at the residence of a city councilwoman. The search warrant was later revoked.
