God reigns without rival. Again, read that...let it sink into your bones, let your heart marinate in this fact - God reigns without rival. God has no rival; he has no equal.
The father of lies, the tempter, the stealer, killer, and destroyer is most certainly real; however, he is no rival to the Lord. Nor is he a friend to the Lord. Satan, as cunning as he is, is not a formidable foe to the Lord. God reigns without rival. His kingdom will not end. His purpose will advance.

The Nash County Sheriff's Office is investigating a report of a motorist being pulled over by someone posing as a law enforcement officer.

On Tuesday, October 23, the sheriff's office received a repot of a motorist being pulled over and their vehicle searched by a law enforcement impersonator at Old Bailey Highway and Rose Loop Road, Nashville. The motorist was also assaulted.

The victims described the impersonator as a while male with a close cut haircut operating a white vehicle, possibly a Crown Victoria or a Dodge Charger.

The Nash County Sheriff's Office encouraged motorists to always call 9-1-1 if unsure about an officer pulling you over.

"If an unmarked vehicle gets behind your vehicle, activates a blue light, and if you are unsure if it is actually a law enforcement vehicle, we recommend you turn on your four-way flashers and pull into a public parking lot that is well illuminated or where there are other people," a press release stated. "Another recommendation is to dial 9-1-1 in order to confirm that a law enforcement officer is attempting to pull over your vehicle."

The investigation is still ongoing by the detectives of the Nash County Sheriff's Office. Any information related to this incident or if you've been stopped by possible law enforcement impersonator, please call the Nash County Sheriff's Office at (252) 459- 4121.
