“Brittny Lewton, a district attorney who represents seven counties on Colorado’s Eastern Plains, was indicted Thursday by a grand jury on drug and official misconduct charges,” reports Sam Tabachnik in the Denver Post’s Crime & Courts.
“On Friday morning, Lewton turned herself in to the Logan County Jail, said Stan Garnett, the former Boulder County district attorney who is serving as Lewton’s lawyer.”
“The indictment and the arrest affidavit remain suppressed.”
“Lewton, the 40-year-old lead prosecutor for the state’s 13th Judicial District, faces three counts involving controlled substances, including possession and conspiracy, and one count of official misconduct, according to Logan County District Court records. A judge gave her a $10,000 personal recognizance bond.”
