Nearly all the copies of a small-town Colorado newspaper were stolen from newspaper racks on the same day the Ouray County Plaindealer published a story about charges being filed over rapes alleged to have occurred at an underage drinking party at the police chief’s house while the chief was asleep, the owner and publisher said Friday.
Mike Wiggins vowed to get to the bottom of it, posting Thursday on X, formerly Twitter: “If you hoped to silence or intimidate us, you failed miserably. We’ll find out who did this. And another press run is imminent.”
The newspaper posted the story on social media and removed its website paywall so people could read about the felony sexual assault charges filed against three men, including a relative of the police chief, for actions that allegedly occurred at a May 2023 party in Ouray where drugs and alcohol were used, according to court records. The suspects were ages 17, 18 and 19 at the time, and the person who reported the rapes was 17, records said.

While working at Roosevelt University, the president was hot over a local free paper called the Chicago Reader for an article exposing his recent raise of $60k while firing all adjuncts and other staff in addition to being shown he was the 3rd highest paid university president in the US. Dude order custodians to chuck all deliveries of CR…as if we didnt already know and could get the paper most anywhere downtown, lol. Of course it caused the Streisand effect hitting other well respected collegiate editorials (the Chronicle of Higher Ed) and he forced resigned the following year.
