In a nutshell, a reporter for a local newspaper was interrupted by a businesswoman while covering a rally of Republican congressman.
In the wake of that, the newspaper published a history of her driving license revoked for drunken driving based on her public records.
In retaliation, she had a judge issue a search warrant, saying the information had been obtained illegally.
And the newspaper could not be published for a while.
The mainstream media began reporting on the case.

However, Marion County Record had been investigating the current head of the Marion Police Department (who transferred from the Kansas City Police Department in April). Shortly after his arrival, he ceased the long-running publication of weekly police activity reports. The paper investigated this. As a result, the newspaper was apparently not well received by the police chief.
