Nashville Strip Clubs: Retired Top ATF Special Agent Tells All

1 03 2010

NASHVILLE, Tenn. — When something really bad happened in the southeastern United States, on many occasions, a phone would ring in Nashville. That phone belonged to Jim Cavanaugh, the Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives special agent in charge in the Nashville office.
After 36 years, he’s retiring and speaking candidly about an amazing career.
Cavanaugh was the negotiator with David Koresh during the Waco, Texas, standoff; the deputy commander in the Washington, D.C., sniper case; and he identified the Olympic bomber as Eric Rudolph. Those are just three of his famous cases.
He also knows things about Nashville that weren’t publicly spoken about, such as the time someone tried to blow up the Percy Priest Dam.
“Their sort of lunatic scheme was to flood Nashville and loot the jewelry stores,” said Cavanaugh.
He also knows about when the Mafia got involved in a strip club war and assembled the biggest car bomb in U.S. history and then parked it on 5th Avenue and Broadway at the Classic Cat.
