Nashville bombing: Suspect Anthony Warner’s girlfriend warned cops last YEAR that he was making a bomb in his RV
THE NASHVILLE bomber’s girlfriend had warned police last year that her boyfriend had been making bombs – but nothing was done to stop him.
Anthony Warner’s girlfriend had told Nashville police that he “was making bombs in the RV trailer at his residence” on August 21, 2019, but little was done in the year that passed since her tip.
The Nashville police then pushed the tip to the FBI and the ATF, but when authorities arrived at Warren’s door to search the premises, no one was home.
When they returned for a second time and were denied entry to search the property, the tip went unnoticed.
Warner was able to make bombs throughout the summer and into 2020, when his Christmas Day bomb injured eight people and took out a huge chunk of downtown Nashville.
The Tennessean reviewed records showing a lawyer for Warner’s ex-girlfriend, Raymond Throckmorton, called police to say Warner’s unnamed girlfriend was concerned about comments he had made.
She also said she didn’t want two guns that belonged to Warner in the home.
According to the records, Throckmorton told police that his client said Warner “frequently talks about the military and bomb-making.”
He also “knows what he is doing and is capable of making a bomb.”
When police went to doorknock on Warren’s property, they saw the RV sitting on his driving, but it was fenced off and so they were unable to inspect it further.
