"Newspaper Theft Follows Report on Teen's Alleged Rape at Colorado Police Chief's Home"

Nearly all copies of a small-town Colorado newspaper were stolen from racks after it published a story about rape charges at the police chief’s house, prompting the owner to vow to uncover the culprits. The Ouray County Plaindealer posted the story on social media and removed its website paywall, and after receiving support and donations, published another 250 copies. The suspects, including a relative of the police chief, face felony sexual assault charges for alleged actions at an underage drinking party. The owner believes the person who returned the stolen newspapers was the thief and reported the incident to the police.
