Social Media Personality ‘Chud the Builder’ Faces Multiple Charges, Released on Bond

Greenville Spartanburg Asheville Anderson, SC, August 10, 2026 —

Dalton Eatherly, who is active on social media under the moniker “Chud the Builder,” has been released from a Tennessee jail after posting bond in two separate counties. Eatherly faces significant legal challenges, including a charge of attempted murder stemming from an alleged incident outside a Montgomery County courthouse.

In Montgomery County, Eatherly’s bond was set at $1 million. He also faces charges in Davidson County, including theft, disorderly conduct, and resisting arrest. A bond of $15,000 was posted in Davidson County for these charges.

The release on bond, particularly in the Montgomery County case, was met with objections from the District Attorney’s office. The specific details surrounding the alleged shooting outside the Montgomery County courthouse have not been provided. Similarly, the circumstances leading to the charges of theft, disorderly conduct, and resisting arrest in Davidson County were not detailed in the provided information.

Eatherly’s activities on social media, where he is known as “Chud the Builder,” are a public aspect of his profile. However, the legal proceedings are separate from his online persona. The bond amounts and the objections from the District Attorney’s office highlight the seriousness of the charges Eatherly is facing.

Further information regarding the investigation into the alleged attempted murder and the details of the Davidson County charges was not immediately available. Eatherly has since bonded out of jail in both jurisdictions.
