Streamer ChudTheBuilder returns to broadcasting after release on house arrest while facing an attempted murder charge.
Livestreamer Dalton Eatherly, widely known online as ChudTheBuilder, has officially returned to broadcasting following his release from jail. Eatherly is currently facing a severe attempted murder charge stemming from a shooting incident.
The legal trouble follows a violent confrontation outside the Montgomery County Courthouse in Clarksville, Tennessee. Authorities reported that both Eatherly and Joshua Fox sustained gunshot wounds during the May 13 altercation.
In addition to attempted murder, the streamer faces multiple felony charges, according to information published by dexerto.
Legal charges and courthouse shooting details
The incident outside the courthouse in Clarksville triggered a complex web of legal proceedings across multiple jurisdictions in Tennessee. Eatherly faces additional charges of employing a firearm during a dangerous felony, aggravated assault, and reckless endangerment with a deadly weapon.
Prior to his release, a Davidson County judge revoked his bond in separate Nashville cases after he was charged in connection with the Montgomery County Courthouse shooting. Eatherly has previously claimed that he fired his weapon in self-defense during the confrontation.
Release on bond and strict house arrest conditions
After spending nearly three months in custody, Eatherly secured his release in August by posting a $1 million bond in Montgomery County and a separate $15,000 bond in Davidson County for an alleged restaurant dispute.
His release came with strict conditions, including full house arrest, GPS monitoring, and a total prohibition on possessing weapons. Authorities also issued separate gag orders restricting public discussion of the two active cases, though social media activity was not entirely banned.
Return broadcast and time spent in custody
On October 15, the content creator made his first desktop appearance since the incident, launching a broadcast titled The Return of ChudTheBuilder. During the stream, he addressed viewers and discussed his extended time behind bars.
Eatherly described strict restrictions on his daily interactions with other inmates while incarcerated. He stated that he made several requests to join other inmates to play cards, but authorities did not allow him to go out with anybody, though other inmates would occasionally visit his cell door to speak with him.
