Three Arrested in Antioch, TN Nightclub Drug Bust

A significant law enforcement operation, involving the FBI, DEA, and Tennessee Highway Patrol, took place at the Miami nightclub in Antioch, Tennessee, on Sunday morning, leading to the detention of multiple individuals. Witnesses described a chaotic scene, likening it to a warzone with stun grenades and tactical gear present, although all detainees were ultimately released after being questioned. The raid was part of an investigation into drug and human trafficking, with District 32 Council Member Joy Styles highlighting ongoing concerns about nightclubs in strip malls, which have a history of violence and complaints. In a related case, three men were arrested and charged with drug trafficking linked to the same nightclub and another venue in the area, following an 18-month investigation. Authorities noted that over 400 police calls had been made to the clubs since 2020, reflecting a pattern of criminal activity. Increased police presence is expected in the Antioch district as officials address these issues.
