Some key witness information in the case against Muncie Sanitary District Official Tracy Barton, will remain secret. Barton was arrested last month and it’s believed his arrest is part of a probe into local corruption that’s been ongoing for two years. The Department of Justice sought and won a protective order that appears to be aimed at protecting witnesses cooperating with the government’s case against Barton but still makes the information available to Barton and his defense attorney.
