Detectives reveal new evidence in ChudTheBuilder shooting including ticket to Turkey & body armor

Okay, so the police just dropped some pretty wild news about ChudTheBuilder. Apparently, they found a bulletproof vest and a plane ticket to Istanbul when they searched his place! It’s all getting really serious now, and they’ve officially set some rules he has to follow – like, conditions for his bail, I guess. It’s definitely a strange turn of events, and I’m honestly a little worried about what’s going on with him.

Dalton Eatherly, known online as ChudTheBuilder, is a livestreamer from the Nashville area who films himself while out in public. He’s become known locally for videos where he’s accused of using racist language towards Black people and provoking confrontations.

On May 13th, Chud and Joshua Fox had a fight outside the Montgomery County Courthouse. During the altercation, Chud fired a gun, and in the process, he accidentally shot himself.

He faced charges including attempted murder, using a gun while committing a serious crime, aggravated assault, and putting someone in danger with a deadly weapon.

On May 21, Eatherly was in court for a bond hearing in which his $1.25M was reset at $1M.
