Explosives found at Hickman County landfill

The Tennessee Highway Patrol bomb squad was called in to dispose of the dangerous material, which included 22 railway torpedoes.

Officials said the explosives could have easily exploded if they were accidentally run over.

Hickman County Sheriff Randal Ward said it’ll be hard to determine where they originated.

“They probably had them stored up in some kind of shed and decided to get rid of them,” he told WSMV-TV of Nashville. “That’s a problem we’ve had with grenades, dynamite.”
