58-year-old Barna D. Haynes, the former secretary to District Attorney Mike Harson, pled guilty to a one count Bill of Information charging Haynes with Conspiracy. According to the Bill of Information, from 2008 to 2012, Haynes was paid to accept bribes from a co-conspirator in return for Haynes' assistance in obtaining favorable resolutions of criminal cases, including DWIs. Haynes says she received $55,000, and the District Attorney was not aware of the scheme. More arrests are expected.
