Humphreys County, Tennessee — In the wake of Friday’s deadly explosion at the Accurate Energetic Systems (AES) plant, Sheriff Chris Davis is warning the public against spreading rumors and unverified information online, emphasizing the need for patience as investigators work methodically at the site.
What Happened
The explosion at the AES facility claimed multiple lives and left the plant in ruins. As authorities continue recovery and investigative efforts, Sheriff Davis stressed that speculation and conspiracy theories circulating on social media are creating confusion and distress for families of victims.
“Don’t believe everything you hear,” Davis cautioned. “Our investigators are moving slow and methodical because accuracy matters. We understand people want answers, but the truth takes time.”
Officials confirmed that controlled detonations will continue as crews safely dispose of unstable materials within the debris. Each detonation will be announced at least 30 minutes in advance on official channels.
Ongoing Investigation
When asked whether foul play has been ruled out, Sheriff Davis said investigators cannot confirm at this time.
“We can’t answer that right now. It could be days, weeks, or even months before we know for sure.”
Authorities are urging residents to stay clear of the restricted area while recovery and investigation operations continue, noting that there is no ongoing threat to public safety.
Public Guidance and Safety
Sheriff Davis emphasized the importance of sharing only verified information to avoid creating additional pain for grieving families.
“Rumors are harmful — not just to the investigation, but to the people who are grieving,” he said.
Residents are encouraged to rely on official announcements and updates from the Humphreys County Sheriff’s Department for accurate information.
