TOPEKA, Kan. (AP) — A Kansas police chief who led an August raid on a small weekly newspaper seemed to have the support of most city leaders in the weeks since the search, despite public outcry and calls for his resignation. But that changed quickly once details began emerging about Marion Police Chief Gideon Cody’s conduct. Cody was suspended Thursday, the same day a television station reported that he asked a local restaurant owner to delete text messages.

The raids also focused an intense spotl...
