NASHVILLE —
More than a year before Anthony Quinn Warner detonated a bomb in downtown Nashville on Christmas Day, officers visited his home after his girlfriend told police he was building bombs in an RV trailer at his residence, according to documents obtained by the Associated Press. But the officers were unable to make contact with him or see inside his RV.
Those revelations, contained in a newly disclosed 2019 incident report, put Nashville’s police chief on the defensive Wednesday as he said his officers did nothing wrong and handled the situation properly. He added that other than a 1970s marijuana-related arrest, Warner was “squeaky clean.”
