ROGERSVILLE — The son of the Bean Station police chief has been charged with impersonating a police officer for allegedly stopping a vehicle in Rogersville, detaining the driver and searching the driver’s vehicle — all while displaying a Bean Station Police Department badge.
Nathaniel Ryan Robinette, 21, 664 Heck Hollow Road, Rogersville, also allegedly had a fully automatic M-16 and SWAT gear in his vehicle at the time of the traffic stop Friday night. All the equipment belongs to his father’s department.
