Streamer Braden Peters, better known by his controversial online persona of ‘Clavicular,’ was arrested on battery charges Thursday (March 26), a spokesperson for the Fort Lauderdale Police Department confirmed to PEOPLE.
Peters, 20, had his bond set at $1,000, according to jail records obtained by PEOPLE. A spokesperson for Osceola County Corrections confirmed that a warrant was issued for the streamer’s arrest but didn’t provide additional details. Clavicular gained a massive following as a member of the “looksmaxxing” community, an internet sect of young men who strive to maximize their attractiveness, often taking extreme measures in that process.
Peters has been criticized for a string of extremist and racist acts during his live streams, which includes using a racist slur and admitting to having used meth to maintain his appearance. The 20-year-old made headlines earlier this week for appearing to repeatedly shoot an already dead alligator during a live stream in the Everglades.
The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission confirmed it was “aware of a video depicting individuals in the Everglades on an airboat who appear to be discharging firearms at an alligator” in a statement shared on its X account Thursday (March 26) and that it was “looking into the incident,” though not mentioning Peters by name.
Peter’s account on Kick, a platform he frequently livestreams on, appeared to be taken down on Friday amid news of his arrest.
