Rutherford County law enforcement agencies were concerned about homeland security safety after an incident at Barrett Firearms Mfg. Inc.
Around 4:00 p.m. Wednesday, a man of Middle Eastern descent approached an employee outside Barrett Manufacturing, asked about what was made there, and if he could see inside.
The employee responded with information about tours planned in advance.
The man wanted to know if he could buy metal from the company with the $15,000 to $20,000 in cash he had on him at the time.
The man had asked questions about the plant and began demanding access, sheriff’s spokesman Dan Goodwin said in a news release issued Friday.
The man was asked to leave after he became upset when the employee began to examine his pickup truck.
The white truck was described as having dual rear tires and towing a white utility trailer. Two other men were in the truck, and there was luggage in the bed of the vehicle.
“Certainly since 9/11 a lot of law enforcement agencies have taken these kinds of things more seriously. It’s hard to say whether there is anything to this or not, but if it is something suspicious we definitely want to know about it,” TBI spokesperson Jennifer Johnson said.
Barrett Firearms makes 50 caliber rifles for the military.
If you have any information about these men please call the Rutherford County Sheriff’s Department at 898-7770.
