Tap title to read story
Clarksville, Tennessee. On Wednesday, May 13, livestreamer Dalton Eatherly, 28, allegedly shot another man during a daytime confrontation outside the Montgomery County Courthouse, leaving both Eatherly and the other man wounded; law enforcement detained Eatherly and hospitalized the injured parties while prosecutors prepared felony charges. Earlier that week he had been charged in Nashville with theft and disorderly conduct relating to a May 9 restaurant incident.
Nashville and Clarksville court records show that at a May 15 arraignment prosecutors asked that Eatherly be held without bond, but Judge H. Reid Poland III set a $1.25 million preliminary bond and scheduled a full hearing next week; charges include attempted murder, employing a firearm during a dangerous felony, aggravated assault, and reckless endangerment, while the alleged victim's family launched fundraising for medical expenses.
