Livestreamer \u201cChud the Builder\u201d was involved in a confrontation \u201cwith gunfire\u201d outside a Tennessee courthouse Wednesday, authorities said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The controversial 28-year-old streamer, whose real name is Dalton Eatherly and who is known for using offensive racial language, was involved in a confrontation around 1:20 p.m. outside the Montgomery County Courthouse in Clarksville, District Attorney General Robert J. Nash of the 19th Judicial District said in a statement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The confrontation with an \u201cunknown male\u201d escalated to gunfire, Nash said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Both sustained gunshot wounds, the Montgomery County Sheriff\u2019s Office said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Eatherly was the person who opened fire, and he appeared to have shot himself in the arm, the news website Clarksville Now reported, citing Nash.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Law enforcement officers secured the scene, locked down the courthouse and took one person into custody, Nash said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The two people were taken to hospitals and are stable, the sheriff\u2019s office said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The incident is under investigation, and there\u2019s no threat to the public, according to the sheriff\u2019s office and Nash\u2019s office.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Eatherly was scheduled to appear at the courthouse at 9 a.m. Wednesday as the defendant in a contract\/debt case, according to online dockets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Eatherly is a controversial online personality, known for posting \u201crage-bait\u201d content, repeatedly using racial slurs and challenging people to fight him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He was arrested Sunday in Nashville after he was alleged to have walked out on a restaurant bill and resisted arrest, according to court documents.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In the alleged incident, Eatherly went to Bob\u2019s Steak & Chop House, where he was asked not to livestream. When he was caught streaming and was asked to stop, \u201che became disruptive and started making racial statements, yelling, screaming,\u201d a probable cause affidavit said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He also said, \u201cI\u2019m not paying if you are kicking me out,\u201d and refused to pay his $371.55 bill, according to the affidavit. He was charged with disorderly conduct and theft of services, it said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The next day, officers saw him walking down a street in Nashville and detained him on outstanding warrants, according to a separate affidavit. He pulled his arm away when officers tried to handcuff him, resulting in the resisting arrest charge, the affidavit said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He was released after he posted $5,000 bond, according to the court docket.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
No attorney for him in those cases was listed. He is due back in court on those charges on July 17.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
