Emily Rainey, an outspoken opponent of the drag show and a former Army captain who resigned her commission amid an investigation into her attendance at the Jan. 6 Trump rally, tweeted out a cryptic message following the outages.
"The power is out in Moore County, and I know why," Rainey said in a post to her page shortly before 9 p.m. Saturday.
Two hours later, Rainey posted on her Facebook page that deputies with the Moore County Sheriff's Office had visited her home.
"Sorry they wasted their time. I told them that God works in mysterious ways and is responsible for the outage. I used the opportunity to tell them about the immoral drag show and the blasphemies screamed by its supporters," she wrote in the post.
Fields, at the press conference, acknowledged the visit, saying, "There is an individual that put some information on Facebook that was false. Yes, we had to go and interview this young lady and have a word of prayer with her, but it turned out to be nothing."
