Overview
- Dalton Eatherly, who streams as “Chud the Builder,” was arrested and formally charged with attempted criminal homicide, employing a firearm during a dangerous felony, aggravated assault, and reckless endangerment after a shooting outside the Montgomery County Courthouse.
- The shooting, which occurred on Wednesday, May 13, left victim Joshua Fox wounded and airlifted for emergency surgery and has been reported as stable after treatment.
- Judge H. Reid Poland III set Eatherly’s bond at $1.25 million and scheduled a bond review for May 21 and a preliminary hearing for May 26.
- Both men received large online donations after the incident, with reports showing more than $250,000 raised for the victim’s GoFundMe and a similar sum on GiveSendGo for Eatherly.
- Eatherly built a pattern of race-targeted, confrontation-driven livestreams and was arrested days earlier in Nashville for a livestream incident, and his defense lawyer says the firm has received hateful calls and emails for taking the case.
