Washington County- Yesterday morning at around 7:00 am, the Washington County Sheriff’s Department received a 911 call for an emergency from an address at 8541 State Road #335 in Pekin, (Washington County). When officers arrived they discovered a deceased female identified as Kristi L. Williams, 41, of Pekin, IN at the home.
