October 18, 2021 | Staff Reporters

A 4-year-old foster child with autism drowned Saturday in a pond about 150 yards from his foster home in Jay.

Jameson Ray Willis had been put down for a nap but managed to get out of the house, which was locked and barricaded to prevent him from wandering off, his foster parent told Santa Rosa Sheriff’s Office.
