Chud the Builder‘s problems are stacking up … the controversial streamer has now been charged in connection with Wednesday’s wild shooting outside a Tennessee courthouse.
The Montgomery County Sheriff’s Office announced that Chud, whose real name is Dalton Eatherly, was charged and booked for criminal attempt: murder, employing a firearm during dangerous felony, aggravated assault, and reckless endangerment with a deadly weapon.
On Wednesday afternoon … officers responded to a call of “shots fired” outside the Montgomery County Courthouse and detained two men who got into a fight that escalated into gunfire, according to the sheriff’s office.
The men suffered bullet wounds, with one being transported to a local hospital and the other treated at the scene. Both were listed in stable condition.
The Montgomery County District Attorney General’s Office identified Eatherly as a suspect who was taken into custody before he was formally charged.
Eatherly live-streamed the entire incident, claiming he was jumped outside the courthouse and fired shots in self-defense. He also said he accidentally shot himself in all the confusion.
Last week, Eatherly had another run-in with the law in Nashville, where he was arrested for disorderly conduct and theft of services.
Police say he got into a spat with customers who asked him to stop filming them at a restaurant before he skipped out on a $371.55 bill.
