Kari Newell accused the Marion County Record of getting information illegally about her previous DUI as she was trying to obtain a liquor license 

She triggered the search - which shocked the newspaper's co-owner Joan Meyer so much that she died the next day 

This all started when Newell stood up at a council meeting on August 7, accusing multiple people of having her data, and threatening legal action 

The restaurant owner who sparked a police raid on a local Kansas newspaper has been unmasked as new footage emerges of an explosive council meeting where she accused officials of leaking her DUI information. 

Kari Newell, 46, is the woman who accused the Marion County Record of getting her 2008 DUI information illegally, which would have disrupted her request for a liquor license - triggering the multiple police raids on Friday.  

Newspaper co-owner Joan Meyer, 98, collapsed and died following the intense stress and grief she felt when her home was raided by the entirety of the Marion Police Department in Kansas - headed by chief Gideon Cody. 

On Tuesday, it emerged that Cody was also being investigated by the newspaper over allegations of sexual misconduct. 

Cody became chief of the Marion County Police Department in late April, after leaving the Kansas City police amid allegations of sexual misconduct.

Along with the raid on the Meyer residence and the newspaper offices being raided, Marion City Vice Mayor Ruth Herbel's home was also pillaged after Newell made a personal fiery attack on her in public last Monday.
