98-year-old newspaper co-owner dies one day after police raid her home

A 98-year-old co-owner of a newspaper has died one day after police raided her home, according to reports. KWCH reported on the incident and shared the unlisted YouTube video for readers to see the police raid that happened before she passed away the day after. The news report said:

The Marion County Record released a new video on Monday showing police and deputies raiding the home of the newspaper’s 98-year-old co-owner Joan Meyer. Joan lived in the home with her son, Eric, also co-owner and editor of the Record.

The in-home surveillance video shows Joan, obviously upset by the officers wearing blue gloves and using flashlights to search through items in the home.

“Don’t you touch any of that stuff,” Joan can be heard saying to the officers. “This is my house.”

Joan, shown wearing a house coat and using a walker, then approaches an officer and tells him to order the officers out of her house. When he doesn’t move, she tells him to get out of the house and stand outside while the search is being conducted.

Joan died a day after the raid. Her son said the raid contributed to his mother’s death, stating that she couldn’t sleep or eat after the incident. Her funeral was on Saturday.
