On Wednesday, Metro Nashville police chief John Drake defended his officers after The Tennessean reported that the police had visited Warner’s property in 2019 with a girlfriend’s report that he was making bombs – but did not initiate an investigation after finding no signs of a possible law breach.
“At no time was there evidence of reasonable suspicion that a crime was being committed and the officers had no legal basis for entering Warner’s fenced yard and home,” said Drake. “We had no legal basis for search warrants or subpoenas based on what we knew at the time.”
The FBI also found no signs of suspicious activity by Warner, officials said.
The attack on Christmas morning damaged more than 40 companies, officials said. Six Nashville police officers were credited with saving lives by helping people evacuate the area after hearing recorded notices from the trailer before the explosion, advising people to leave the area.
