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.”

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.
