An influencer has been detained in Tennessee following his alleged involvement in a shooting, according to local police.
On Wednesday afternoon, Dalton Eatherly, 28 – known online as Chud the Builder – was involved in a confrontation with another man outside the Montgomery county courthouse in Clarksville, Tennessee, during which shots were fired, the office of the district attorney general said in a statement.
The Montgomery county sheriff’s office said deputies responding to the scene detained two adult men “involved in a physical altercation that escalated to gunfire”.
“Both individuals sustained gunshot wounds during the incident. One male was transported to Vanderbilt Clarksville hospital for treatment, while the second was transported by Lifeflight to Vanderbilt University Medical Center in Nashville. Both individuals are currently listed in stable condition,” the sheriff’s office added.
Robert Nash, a district attorney general, told Clarksville Now that Eatherly allegedly opened fire and appeared to have shot himself in the arm during the incident.
“The district attorney’s general office is reviewing the facts of the investigation by law enforcement for formal criminal charges,” his office said.
The Montgomery county sheriff’s office praised deputies for their response, saying: “Thanks to the quick actions of our courthouse deputies, this situation was likely kept from becoming much worse. Their dedication to keeping the courthouse safe was clearly demonstrated today.”
Eatherly has built an online following through live streams in which he deliberately uses racial slurs to “rage-bait” members of the public.
Just days earlier, he had been arrested after allegedly refusing to pay for nearly $400 worth of food at a steakhouse in Nashville, Tennessee. According to affidavits reviewed by local media, he allegedly became disruptive and made racial remarks inside the restaurant.
Following that arrest, Eatherly was charged with disorderly conduct, resisting arrest and theft of services, and was held on a $5,000 bond, according to WSMV.
