In an unprecedented raid Friday, local law enforcement seized computers, cellphones and reporting materials from the Marion County Record office, the newspaper’s reporters, and the publisher’s home.

I hear you there - there’s plenty of dumbfuckery laced throughout this story. I just wanted to draw out that particular piece of stupid in my comment, because it’s clear that this drunken trash heap of a human being is the root of the entire brouhaha.
Check this out, the paper was also investigating the police chief for sexual misconduct allegations. I think drunk driving Karen was just a pretext here: https://thehandbasket.substack.com/p/a-conversation-with-the-newspaper
That’s a good find. Unfortunately for that chief, he seems to have a talent for lighting his problems on fire instead of burying them. What could have been a quiet little small town scandal blew up to become national news. Good work, chief!
And the greatest irony to me is that the newspaper reported on NONE of this. OK, they did cover the story where Karin went off the rails and aired her own dirty laundry at the town council meeting, but it’s not like that was any sort of secret.
