Far-right streamer Clavicular was arrested in Florida Thursday — the same day the state launched a separate investigation into the “looksmaxxing” personality for shooting an alligator in the Everglades.
Clavicular, 20, whose real name is Braden Peters, was arrested and taken into custody Thursday in Broward County on a misdemeanor battery charge related to a warrant in Osceola County.
Unrelated to that arrest, Peters earlier the same day shared to his Kick account video of himself in an airboat with some other men, all wielding handguns. The group stops next to what appears to be a dead alligator and then shoots it at least a dozen times.
“Yeah, I think it’s dead,” Peters is heard saying.
Just after 8:30 p.m. Thursday, the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission said it was investigating the incident.
Shooting an alligator out of season (or without proper authorization) is a third-degree felony in Florida. The FWC’s regulation does not state whether this applies to an already-dead animal.
Firearms are prohibited in certain parts of Everglades National Park, under federal law. But it’s unclear where the video took place.
Lieutenant Governor Jay Collins wrote on X that he is “looking forward to seeing charges pressed against those who would brazenly disrespect our laws.”
Peters in February was hosted by Orlando bar Knight Library as a “special guest” at a ticketed event, where he received bottle service even though he is underage. He’s also seen talking about “sorority girls” with DJ Jammy, whose name is Jamaal Wallace, at the primarily college-aged bar.
(He was arrested weeks later in Arizona for using a fake ID.)
Peters made headlines earlier this year for clubbing and posting videos with other far-right, neo-Nazi personalities in a Miami bar. Videos circulated online in January showing the group singing along to the Kanye West song “Heil Hitler.”
Clavicular, Andrew Tate, Myron Gaines, Sneako and known white nationalist Nick Fuentes are seen making the Nazi salute and singing along to the lyrics, “N*gga, Heil Hitler!”
Peters is a frequent user of racial, antisemitic, anti-LGBTQ+ slurs and rhetoric against women. His platform centers on “looksmaxxing,” a controversial practice meant to optimize one’s physical appearance through methods like using crystal meth to keep weight off and facial “bone smashing.” It’s tied to the far-right-associated incel community and often focuses on eugenics and prioritizes white-associated facial features.
He also reportedly hit a person with his Tesla Cybertruck in December.
Peter’s Kick page is empty as of Friday morning. It’s unknown whether this is related to either his arrest or the investigation.
