Braden Eric Peters, 20, the online “looksmaxxing” streamer known as Clavicular, was arrested Thursday in Fort Lauderdale on an Osceola County battery warrant tied to a February Airbnb fight.
The arrest came the same week that Peters made headlines over a separate Everglades livestream that appeared to show repeated gunfire directed at an alligator. As of March 27, his Kick account also appeared to be unavailable, though no public explanation had been posted by the platform.
Battery Charge Stems From February Airbnb Incident
According to the Osceola County Sheriff’s Office, deputies responded on February 2 to a reported battery at an Airbnb near Kissimmee. Investigators said a 19-year-old woman reported she had been battered by Violet Marie Lentz, 24, during a physical altercation inside the rental. Detectives later determined Peters instigated the fight and posted it to social media to exploit the women, according to the sheriff’s office.
Authorities said Peters was arrested in Broward County on the Osceola County warrant. Lentz also faces a misdemeanor battery charge in the case.
Fort Lauderdale police spokesperson Casey Liening said Osceola County investigators requested assistance locating Peters. Police said he was found and arrested around 8:30 p.m. Thursday on the out-of-county hold.
FWC Investigating Separate Everglades Alligator Video
In a separate matter, FWC said it is investigating a video depicting individuals in the Everglades on an airboat who appear to be discharging firearms at an alligator. The agency said officers are looking into the incident and would provide more information when available.
Florida law prohibits a person from intentionally killing, injuring, possessing, or capturing an alligator unless authorized by commission rule. State guidance also limits when firearms may be used in legal alligator harvest situations.
Current Charges
With the arrest now made and the wildlife case still under review, the next developments will likely come from the Osceola County court and any enforcement decision FWC makes after completing its investigation.
Whether either case brings additional charges remains unclear, but the two separate matters have quickly put Peters under scrutiny from both criminal investigators and state wildlife officers.
