Dalton Eatherly, known online as “Chud the Builder,” is out of jail after posting bond in two Tennessee cases. The 28-year-old streamer had spent nearly three months in Montgomery County custody. Clarksville Now reported that he was released August 10, while WSMV confirmed he also posted a $15,000 bond in Davidson County. His release comes with strict rules, including house arrest, GPS monitoring, a gun ban and limits on travel.

Chud the Builder release and house arrest conditions
Chud the builder’s freedom is limited while both cases move forward. According to Clarksville Now, the Davidson County court ordered house arrest, a GPS ankle monitor, no access to weapons or firearms, and no entry into Davidson County unless he has a scheduled court appearance.
His passport application must also be stopped or surrendered. The Montgomery County case has similar restrictions. Judge William Goodman III kept Eatherly’s $1 million bond in place and added a 9 p.m. to 5 a.m. curfew earlier in the case.
The court also required GPS monitoring, the surrender of firearms and a gag order. Clarksville Now reported that the case has already been sent to a grand jury.
WSMV reported that Eatherly posted the $1 million Montgomery County bond and then made the separate $15,000 Davidson County bond.
The Nashville prosecutor’s office told the station it could seek to revoke his release if he commits another offense while awaiting trial.
That means his release does not close either case, and he remains under court supervision while prosecutors continue the legal process. The conditions remain in place while both cases move through court.
