The Chattanooga Billiard Club staff told police they received a phone call around 11:30 p.m. from a man who said he worked for TVA or the water company and that the bar's water was going to be shut off at midnight. The bar shut down operations at the bar around midnight due to this phone call and thinking they were not going to have water to be able to keep the bar operational for the remainder of the night. After the bar removed all patrons and closed, they realized this was a prank call and the water was not shut off. The bar worker who received the call was not on scene and other than caller ID with the phone number coming back to a man, there is no confirmation that the individual who called the bar was in fact that man. The bar just wanted a report for records due to the potential revenue loss that night, which was estimated to be around $2,000.
