Sheriff welcomes new jail chaplain

The Bartholomew County Sheriff’s Department welcomed a new jail chaplain to its ranks. Pastor David R. Burnett, with Waynesburg Christian Church in Westport, was sworn in by Sheriff Myers Wednesday.

“Our chaplains offer guidance and assistance to members of our agency and to BCJ inmates to provide comfort and counseling during tough times,” said Sheriff Myers. “Dave Burnett is a personal friend and an excellent addition to our jail program.”

Pastor Burnett joins fellow department chaplains Pastor Robert Vestor, Pastor David C. Bosley and Chaplain Keith Maddox.
