Suspect Arrested After Alleged Bomb Threat At Morgan Wallen’s Bar
on Apr 25, 2025
A 26-Year-Old Man Was Arrested After Making A Bomb Threat
Security at Morgan Wallen’s Nashville haunt This Bar called 911 early Wednesday morning (April 23) after seeing a note left on a receipt that indicated a bomb threat.
The note read, “I have a bomb!! Don’t be a hero SYBAU.”
According to several TikTok creators, “SYBAU” means “Shut Your B*tch A** Up.”
After finding the note, security cleared the bar but were not able to find anything “unusual.”
Police and security figured out the person who wrote the note was 26-year-old Reginald Smith, who had already gone to a different bar on Lower Broadway.
When they caught up with him, Smith, according to WKRN, said he “wrote the note as a joke and didn’t mean anything behind it.”
He was arrested by Metro Police and charged with a felony for false reporting of an emergency.
Metro police say they took several officers off patrol to investigate the matter.
Smith was booked at 12:30 AM on Thursday morning (April 24) and released at 4:52 PM the same day on a $15,000 bond.
