Moore County Sheriff Ronnie Fields said deputies had determined Rainey's posts about what caused the outage were 'false.'
Rainey, a former U.S. Army psychological operations officer and conservative activist who has been vocally protesting drag shows, wrote on Facebook shortly after the electricity failed:"The power is out in Moore County and I know why."
At Sunday's news conference, Fields said:"We had to go and interview this young lady and have a word of prayer with her and so, but it turned out to be nothing."
