Streamer Dalton Eatherly Arrested in Nashville Over Unpaid Restaurant Bill

Police affidavits describe a disruptive livestream that ended with an alleged refusal to pay.

Overview

  • Metro Nashville police booked Eatherly on three misdemeanors—theft of services under $1,000, disorderly conduct, and resisting—before his release on a $5,000 bond.
  • Officers and affidavits state the dispute began at Bob’s Steak & Chop in the Omni Hotel after staff told him to stop livestreaming inside the dining room.
  • The documents say he ordered appetizers, two entrees, and drinks totaling about $371.55, then told staff, "I'm not paying if you are kicking me out."
  • Affidavits allege he made racial statements and disrupted other diners, and police wrote there was "no bona fide offer of payment" for the tab.
  • Video shared on social media shows officers handcuffing him outside, and the arrest follows his recent ban from the streaming site Kick for past confrontational IRL videos.
