"Colorado Police Chief Placed on Leave Amid Alleged Teen Rape Probe"

Colorado police chief Jeff Wood has been placed on administrative leave after his stepson and three men were accused of raping a 17-year-old girl in his home during a party. The city of Ouray announced the decision pending the outcome of the criminal proceedings. The alleged rape took place during a party thrown by Wood’s stepson, and the police chief's DNA was found on a sweatshirt belonging to him. The case gained national attention after a man stole hundreds of newspapers reporting on the allegations. Wood has stated that he was made aware of the allegations two months after the incident and anticipates being called as a witness at trial.
