Welcome to Arrest Stories. A 28-year-old man from Nashville faces multiple felony charges after a shooting incident outside a courthouse left two individuals injured. Here’s what may have happened.
On May thirteenth, two thousand twenty-six, Dalton Levi Eatherly, known online as “Chud the Builder,” was arrested following a confrontation outside the Montgomery County Courts Center in Clarksville, Tennessee. At approximately one fifteen p.m., Eatherly and Joshua Fox engaged in a verbal altercation. According to police reports, Eatherly “turned his body in a bladed stance” during the exchange before a firearm was drawn. Both men were shot and transported to a nearby hospital in stable condition. Authorities confirmed the incident occurred as Eatherly livestreamed, a practice he has previously used to share “racially charged content” on public streets, including on Broadway in Nashville.
The timeline preceding the shooting includes a separate disturbance on May ninth at Bob’s Steak & Chop House in Nashville. Eatherly was livestreaming inside the restaurant when staff requested he stop. He allegedly became disruptive, refused to pay a $three hundred seventy-one dollar fifty-five tab, and left without settling the bill.
During the courthouse incident, Eatherly reportedly asked a responding officer, “Did I shoot myself or did it graze it?” per a quote attributed to him by officials. The defendant is a live streamer who filmed content including racially charged content on Broadway for social media, one law enforcement statement noted.
Eatherly now faces charges including aggravated assault, reckless endangerment with a deadly weapon, and attempted murder. A bond of one point two five million dollars was set.
All suspects presumed innocent until proven guilty in a court of law. Do not take this report as factual, always verify facts. Thanks for watching Arrest Stories.
