A new report shows that Nashville Police were told over a year ago that
Anthony Quinn Warner was building a bomb in his RV. Police have identified Warner as the person responsible for the Christmas Day bombing on Second Avenue that took his life and injured three others.
According to recently uncovered documents, Warner's girlfriend warned police in August 2019 of alleged threats he made, despite the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation saying Warner was "not on our radar."
According to
The Tennessean, attorney
Raymond Throckmorton III called police on August 21, 2019 to the residence of Warner's girlfriend, who lived about a mile and a half from Warner, where she said that he was "building bombs in the RV trailer at his residence." The police report notes that the woman was experiencing a mental health crisis at the time. Metro Nashville Police passed the information along to the FBI, but no other actions appear to have been taken against Warner.
