About this ebook
Dalton Eatherly, known online as “Chud the Builder,” built a controversial online following through provocative livestreams and confrontational videos. But in May 2026, his online persona became the backdrop to a much more serious story when a confrontation outside the Montgomery County Courthouse in Clarksville, Tennessee, escalated into gunfire. Both Eatherly and another man were wounded.Dalton Eatherly: The Chud the Builder Case examines the man behind the online persona, the rise of his provocative social-media presence, the controversies surrounding his livestreams, and the events that led to one of the most consequential moments of his life.According to the arrest warrant, investigators allege that Eatherly reached for a firearm before a physical altercation and subsequently fired multiple shots, striking the other man. Eatherly was also shot during the struggle. He was later charged with attempted first-degree murder, firearm-related offenses, aggravated assault, and reckless endangerment. These remain allegations, and Eatherly is presumed innocent unless proven guilty in court.The book follows the case from the courthouse confrontation through the investigation, arrest, bond hearings, evidence described by authorities, and the legal proceedings that followed. It also examines the separate legal problems Eatherly faced around the same period, including charges arising from a Nashville restaurant incident.Beyond the charges is a larger story about internet fame, provocation, confrontation, personal responsibility, and the increasingly blurred line between online performance and real-world consequences.As of August 2026, Eatherly had been released on bond, while the Montgomery County and Davidson County cases had been sent to grand juries for review. The ultimate outcome of the criminal proceedings remained unresolved.This book presents the known facts, allegations, court developments, and unanswered questions surrounding Dalton Eatherly and the “Chud the Builder” phenomenon—offering a chronological account of how an internet personality became the central figure in a Tennessee courthouse shooting case that captured national attention.
