WARNING: Man suspects fake cop tried to pull him over on I-75

Channel 2 Action News obtained dashcam video that shows someone a man fears is a police impersonator making an odd attempt to pull him over on Interstate 75. It happened Sunday morning around 2:30 a.m. as the man, who only wanted to be identified as Dan, was headed home. Dan said someone in a Ford sedan pulled in front of him and slowed down. 'Three things didn't add up: the civilian plate, him pulling in front of me and the bogus lights,' Dan said. 'I've never seen a guy try to pull me over like this.' Dan said he quickly realized the vehicle did not start with GV, which signifies a government vehicle.

Paran Road Exit. “That was my first response when he went off the interstate with me, this guy is following me home,” Dan said. He said the car was behind him and too close for comfort, so he took a few sharp turns until he was in the clear. Dan said he reported what happened to Atlanta police the next day. Channel 2's Matt Johnson showed the video to Atlanta police, and Atlanta Police Department officials said they are investigating. Officers said if it happens to you, don't hesitate to call 911. It's against Georgia law to have flashing blue lights on a vehicle that's not a law enforcement vehicle.

The next time you buy local fruit, it could taste less sweet and cost more

Rain is on the way again and that's very bad news for some local farmers -- and your wallet. All of this rain is hitting Georgia fruits especially hard.  Last year went down as one of the top 5 wettest years on record in Atlanta with over 70 inches of rain. At Jaemor Farms in Hall County, they received 86 inches of rain soaking the fields and that proved to be detrimental to some of the crops, including their strawberries. Severe Weather Team 2 Meteorologist Eboni Deon spoke to the general manager of Jaemor Farms, who said he’s just hoping for some dry days. “2018, it started out the gate really, really wet. In the fruit and vegetable industry excessive rain is not a good thing,” said general manager Drew Echols. Strawberries were mostly affected, with substantial crop losses. “Strawberries in particular, constantly having to clean up these fields. It’s a lot of labor, very time consuming for strawberries that were really no good,” Echols said. Peaches are expected to not be as flavorful.

Rain didn't only impact how the fruits and vegetables taste, but also how they are harvested “We had to harvest when the sun was shining, we had to do our plowing when the ground dried out, really everything revolved around the rain in 2018,” Echols said. With less being produced, the price goes up to make ends meet and that means you're paying more at the grocery store.    “Added expense with lighter yields, so that digs into profits in a hurry,” Echols said. Unfortunately, there’s more rain in the forecast. But they are hoping for a drier 2019. For now, they’ve put down white tarps to help generate some early growth on their strawberries.
