Cody Purney’s DUI Arrest Sparks Local Interest

Cody Purney, son of retired Topeka PD Major Steve Purney, was arrested late Sunday night on DUI, speeding, and improper lane change charges — a case that’s drawing attention due to his father’s law enforcement legacy. Released just after 2 a.m. Monday, Cody faces court on August 24, 2026, with $1,000 bond per charge. Though he’s presumed innocent, his past involvement with local police — including helping nab suspects during a 2013 internship — adds intrigue to this unfolding story.
