Overview
- Dalton Eatherly, known online as Chud The Builder, was released Monday after posting a $1 million bond that was covered by ten separate bail bond companies.
- He faces an attempted murder charge from a May 13 courthouse confrontation that prosecutors say left Joshua Fox and Eatherly wounded during a struggle in which seven shots were fired.
- Montgomery County prosecutors say social-media posts and livestreams show Eatherly repeatedly harassing Black people in Nashville and that those posts support allegations he sought to provoke the encounter.
- Eatherly also faces misdemeanor charges from a days-earlier incident at a Nashville steakhouse, and both the courthouse and Nashville matters have been referred to grand juries for review.
- Prosecutors are pursuing pretrial actions, including motions to revoke bond for missed hearings, and additional court dates remain scheduled as the cases move forward.
