Overview
- Dalton Eatherly, a livestreamer known as “Chud the Builder,” was involved in a confrontation that turned into gunfire outside the Montgomery County Courthouse in Clarksville on Wednesday, and deputies secured the scene after a brief lockdown.
- Eatherly was arrested later Wednesday and now faces attempted murder, employing a firearm during a dangerous felony, aggravated assault, and reckless endangerment with a deadly weapon.
- At his arraignment Friday, Judge Reid Poland III set bond at $1.25 million and scheduled a bond hearing for May 21 and a preliminary hearing for May 26.
- Both men were hospitalized in stable condition, with the other man airlifted to Vanderbilt University Medical Center, and a GoFundMe identified him as Joshua Fox as his family seeks help for medical and caregiving costs.
- Eatherly livestreamed the aftermath and claimed self-defense, while District Attorney Robert Nash said Eatherly opened fire and appeared to shoot himself in the arm, and the incident follows his May 9 Nashville arrest tied to a disruptive livestream and an unpaid $371.55 bill.
