Newspapers Stolen on Day of Teen's Alleged Rape Story at Police Chief's Home

Hundreds of Colorado newspapers were stolen from racks just hours after a story detailing a teen's alleged gang rape at the police chief's home was published on the front page. The Ouray County Plaindealer reported that three teenagers, including Chief Jeff Wood’s son, were accused of sexually assaulting a drunken girl. A suspect was identified and returned a garbage bag stuffed with stolen newspapers to the Plaindealer office, confessing to the theft. The victim claimed she was raped more than once at Chief Woods’ home during a late-night party, and three men were arrested on suspicion of sexual assault.
