Former top Colorado Bureau of Investigations forensic scientist Yvonne, Woods turned herself into Jefferson County authorities and was booked into county jail early Wednesday afternoon on a 102-count indictment, according to county sources and court documents.
Woods, 64, was being held in Jefferson County Jail on $50,00 cash bond, according to a Jefferson County Sheriff’s Office spokesperson. She is scheduled to make her first court appearance at 10 a.m. Thursday.
Among the counts are attempt to influence a public servant and forgery.
The embattled former CBI forensic DNA analyst has been at the center of a massive state scandal after it was disclosed in November 2023 that the once revered scientist had deleted data, skipped steps and manipulated DNA evidence in more than 1,000 instances over her nearly three-decade career.
This is a developing story.
