Cabarrus official to resign Baptist post. Commissioner is on state convention's executive committee

[Ian David]

CONCORD --
Cabarrus County commissioner and retired Baptist pastor Coy Privette plans to resign his leadership post with the State Baptist Convention of North Carolina, convention leaders said Friday.

The announcement comes a day after Privette was arrested on six counts of aiding and abetting prostitution.

Privette called the convention's executive director, Milton Hollifield Jr., on Friday and said "he will be sending us an official statement of resignation," said Brian Davis, one of Hollifield's top assistants. A former president of the convention, Privette now sits on the group's executive committee and board of directors, Davis said.

The Christian Action League of North Carolina suspended Privette, 74, as its president Thursday until the court case is resolved. Privette has also spent decades as a Republican state legislator and county commissioner in Cabarrus.
