Moped driver causes accident south of Salem
Washington County Sheriff’s Department deputies Saturday night were looking for a moped driver who numerous people reported was driving erratically and weaving from one side of the road to the other.
While looking for the moped driver, officers were notified about an injury accident involving a van and moped in the 5700 block of Motsinger Road.
According to a police report, 40-year-old Norman Fletner of Scottsburg, driving the moped, was traveling west when for an unknown reason he crossed the center line when cresting a hill and collided with a 2012 Dodge Caravan driven by 37-year-old Kelli Burns of Salem.
Feltner suffered internal injuries and was flown by medical helicopter to the University of Louisville Hospital.
Burns and her passenger, 33-year-old Nattasha Snelling of Pekin, both complained of chest pain. Both were wearing seatbelts during the incident.
According to police Feltner was the moped driver that officers had received numerous complaints about.
Pekin woman’s death now a murder investigation
A 41-year-old woman was found dead in her home early Thursday morning and what happened remains under investigation but the Indiana State Police say now the investigation has turned to murder.
An autopsy was performed Friday morning on the body of 41-year-old Kristi L. Williams at the Kentucky Medical Examiner’s Office in Louisville, KY.
The preliminary results showed Williams died due to severe trauma to her neck area. ISP Sgt. Jerry Goodin said he couldn’t comment at this time on the type of trauma involved — or whether it came from choking or a blow to the neck.
Williams leaves behind a 19-year-old daughter.
“Through our investigation that we have done over the last 24 hours, coupled with the information that we’ve received from the Kentucky Medical Examiner’s Office, we are officially calling this a murder investigation,” said Goodin on Friday.
According to Indiana State Police who are assisting with the investigation, these results are only preliminary and the final determination of the cause of death will not be determined until all results from the autopsy are confirmed, which typically takes up to six weeks.
Washington County Sheriff’s Department Captain Roger Newlon said the department received the 911 call from William’s boyfriend just before 7:30a on Thursday. Police rushed to the Williams’ home at 8531 State Road 335 and soon after contacted the ISP to help with the investigation.
“We’ve got several people of interest that we are speaking to,” said Goodin. “We are taking our time, that’s why we are trying to leave no stones unturned, again because we want to arrest the person responsible for Kristi’s death.”
A forensic team from Indianapolis worked the scene throughout the day Thursday to determine exactly what happened. Police are still collecting evidence at the scene.

Dalton receives Foundation Lilly Endowment
Nancy Dalton, a senior at Eastern High School, received a big surprise Sunday morning at the First Baptist Church in Salem where she worships.
Washington County Community Foundation board member Karen Davis and Pastor Steve Gorman worked with Lindsey Wade-Swift to surprise Dalton at church on Sunday morning with a four-year, full tuition scholarship as the Washington County Community Foundation 2014 Lilly Endowment Community Scholar.
The service is broadcast on WSLM and streamed online at wslmradio.com.
She is a senior at Eastern High School and plans on studying biology prior to attending medical school. Nancy is president of the Washington County Youth Foundation, student body president, National Honor Society president, runs track and cross country, and participates in many other school and community activities.
Thirty applications were turned in for the Lilly Endowment Community Scholarship to the Washington County Community Foundation. The WCCF has developed a score sheet and ranking based on criteria that includes: GPA, SAT/ACT scores, financial need, first generation college student, activities, community service, honors/awards, and essay. The top students are then chosen to interview in front of the WCCF Scholarship Committee. After the scholarship committee narrowed the field to four nominees, the finalists’ names were submitted to Independent Colleges of Indiana, Inc. (ICI) for the selection of the recipient.
ICI is a nonprofit corporation that represents 31 regionally accredited degree granting, nonprofit, private colleges and universities in the state.
The scholarships are the result of a statewide Lilly Endowment initiative to help Hoosier students reach higher levels of education. Indiana ranks among the lowest states in the percentage of residents over the age of 25 with a bachelor’s degree. There were 142 scholarships awarded statewide.
