Investigators in Hendersonville are trying to find out who left suspicious devices not far from Old Hickory Dam.

Captain Robert Galoppi of the Hendersonville police department says three devices were found. He says two had been detonated and one had not.

The devices were found at the archery range after park hours by an officer on routine patrol.

The area is nearly surrounded by lake waters and it is a short distance from Old Hickory Lake.

The devices are are considered explosive incendiary devices, somewhat different from a bomb.

Old Hickory Dam is a federally-run facility and the archery range is federal property.

Authorities do not believe the dam was a target, but they are taking the situation very seriously.

Captain Galoppi said, “Any explosive device or incendiary device that’s built in the state of Tennessee is now a felony, even if it’s a hoax device. It’s still a felony. The added twist to this is it is on a federal reservation.”

That means anybody found responsible for the devices could face state and federal charges.
