Dalton Eatherly, better known online as ChudTheBuilder, remains in jail after a Tennessee judge refused to lower his $1 million bond during a court hearing on June 3. The decision came even after YouTuber Alex Rosen appeared in court and offered to contribute money toward Eatherly’s release. Eatherly, 28, appeared in Montgomery County Circuit Court in Clarksville, where he faces serious charges linked to a shooting outside the Montgomery County Courthouse on May 13. He has been charged with attempted murder, employing a firearm during the commission of a dangerous felony, aggravated assault, and reckless endangerment with a deadly weapon.
His attorney, Jacob Fendley, asked the court to reduce the bond, arguing that Eatherly has strong ties to the community and has not been convicted of any crime. Eatherly’s father also attended the hearing and was available to speak on his behalf. Despite those arguments, Judge William Goodman III ruled that the bond would stay at $1 million. The judge also said that if Eatherly is released, he must follow a curfew from 9 p.m. until 5 a.m.
