Livestreamer ChudTheBuilder has returned to broadcasting following his release from jail while facing an attempted murder charge over a shooting outside a Tennessee courthouse.

Dalton Eatherly, known online as ChudTheBuilder, was charged following the May 13 shooting outside the Montgomery County Courthouse in Clarksville. Authorities said Eatherly and Joshua Fox suffered gunshot wounds during the incident. Eatherly also faces charges of employing a firearm during a dangerous felony, aggravated assault, and reckless endangerment with a deadly weapon.

Eatherly was released under house arrest in August after nearly three months in custody. His release followed the posting of a $1 million bond in Montgomery County and a separate $15,000 bond in Davidson County, where he faces charges arising from an alleged restaurant dispute.

ChudTheBuilder discusses time in custody during return broadcast

Eatherly appeared behind a desk during his October 15 broadcast, titled The Return of ChudTheBuilder. Clips circulating afterward showed him addressing viewers and discussing his experiences in jail.

In one clip from the broadcast, Eatherly described restrictions on his interactions with other inmates.

“I wasn’t allowed to go out with anybody,” he said.

Eatherly said he had asked to join other inmates to play cards, stating: “I did make several requests.” He also said inmates would come to his cell door and speak with him.

His return follows several court decisions concerning his release. In June, a Davidson County judge revoked his bond in the Nashville cases after he was charged in connection with the separate Clarksville shooting.

The release conditions reported in August required house arrest, GPS monitoring, and a prohibition on possessing weapons. Separate gag orders restricted public discussion of the two cases, including through livestreams, but did not prohibit all social media activity.

Eatherly previously claimed he fired in self-defense during the courthouse confrontation. That account remains his explanation of the incident, rather than a court finding.
