BEWARE OF MAN WHO CALLS HIMSELF A DEACON AROUND YOUR CHILDREN

I received information that Citedel Of Deliverance  COGIC had a deacon working with children that's a registered sex offender. After investigating I did find that David Eugene Burnett is in fact registered with the state of Tennessee as a violent sex offender. It seems that in 2016 Burnett was a teacher at Kirby High School and a 14 year old boy accused him of unzipping his pants and pulling them down and touching him in a sexual manner. With Burnett being a sexual offender still on probation he is to not have contact with children so for him to be working around children in the church puts him in violation and perhaps a child in danger.

Linwood Dillard pastor of Citedel has informed me that Burnett is not a deacon of the church and the person placing the fact that he is one will be reprimanded. He states that Burnett does not have any of the required credentials of COGIC for being a deacon. Dillard also states that when he was unaware of the charges that Burnett has and when asked about them today Burnett stated that he did not know he had to make the church aware of his past. Im informed that the church is going to suggest to Burnett that he attends church elsewhere.
