Controversial streamer Chud The Builder charged with attempted murder after violent incident

Chud The Builder, a streamer known for shouting racist slurs at black people, has been arrested and charged with attempted murder.

The streamer, whose real name is Dalton Eatherly, has built a reputation for his rage bait content on Kick. During his livestreams, he’s earned a reputation for racist and derogatory language towards black people, calling them chimps and yelling the n-word at them.

But yesterday, Dalton was involved in an incident outside of a Tennessee courthouse.  Montgomery County Sheriff’s Office shared a news release detailing the incident, according to authorities.

“Deputies detained two adult males involved in a physical altercation that escalated to gunfire,” they said. “Both individuals sustained gunshot wounds during the incident.”

It is unclear what led to the altercation. The other adult male has remained unidentified. Dalton described the man as a “chimp”, a racist term he regularly uses to refer to black people.
