In May, the captain made headlines after she posted a video online of her pulling down caution tape at a playground that was closed under North Carolinas COVID-19 restrictions.
Police in Southern Pines, a community about 30 miles (48 kilometers) west of Fort Bragg, charged her with injury to personal property. The police told WRAL-TV that they let her off with warnings twice before after she tore down the tape closing off the playground.

The Army gave Rainey appropriate administrative action for the incident and she submitted her resignation in September, according to Lessard. He said the resignation process for an officer can take six months or more and Rainey is set to leave the Army in April.
