According to the Paulding County Sheriff Office, deputies were dispatched to 6502 Road 123 in Latty Township shortly after noon on Thursday on a welfare check. They found 60-year-old Celecitas Pelegrino Williams and her 81-year-old husband Bruce Williams dead in a barn on the property.

A newly-created position at the Allen County Sheriff's Office will work to create outreach programs with the community and build a stronger internal organization.
