Former Kansas police chief Gideon Cody to stand trial in Feb. 2026 on obstruction charges for urging deletion of messages after a 2023 raid.
Former Marion, Kansas police chief Gideon Cody is set to stand trial in February 2026 on obstruction of justice charges for allegedly instructing the publisher of the Marion County Record to delete text messages following a 2023 raid on the newspaper and two homes.
Prosecutors say the request interfered with a potential investigation, though no charges were filed against the targeted individuals.
Cody claimed he was investigating identity theft and computer crimes, but a special prosecutor’s review concluded his actions constituted a felony.
The trial, expected to last about a week, could result in up to 23 months in prison.
A judge has allowed three federal lawsuits related to the raids to proceed.
