A Clarksville contractor known for posting videos of himself calling people racial slurs was arrested in Nashville after he didn’t pay his restaurant tab, police said.
Nashville police arrested Dalton Eatherly, known as Chud the Builder online, May 9.
Officers were called to Bob’s Steak and Chop, a restaurant at the Omni Hotel on Rep. John Lewis Way South. The restaurant and security manager told police that they’d asked Eatherly not to livestream, according to his arrest affidavit.
“The defendant is a live streamer who filmed content including racially charged content on Broadway for social media,” the affidavit said.
Eatherly ordered two entrees, cocktails and appetizers totaling $371, according to the affidavit.
“When the restaurant realized he had been live streaming they asked him to stop his actions,” the affidavit said. “He became disruptive and started making racial statements, yelling, screaming and otherwise creating a scene at the location.”
Eatherly then said “I’m not paying if you are kicking me out,” the affidavit said. He then left the restaurant.
Police later found him walking on Broadway near 2nd Avenue South. When officers tried to take Eatherly into custody, he “pulled his arm away,” but was otherwise arrested without incident, the affidavit said.
Eatherly was charged with theft of services, disorderly conduct and resisting arrest.
