Braden Peters, the "looksmaxxing" influencer known online as Clavicular, is facing legal challenges in Florida following his arrest on Thursday, March 26, 2026.
Authorities in Osceola County issued a warrant for his arrest on a misdemeanor battery charge, alleging that he instigated a physical fight between two women at a Kissimmee Airbnb in early February.
However, sources close to the 20-year-old streamer told TMZ that he did not intentionally provoke the altercation and that his behavior during the incident stemmed from his autism.
The initial report from the Osceola County Sheriff’s Office suggested that Clavicular rented the home and encouraged a 19-year-old woman and a 24-year-old woman to fight for the purpose of creating social media content.
Deputies claimed he then shared the footage online to "exploit" the situation for views. In contrast, those representing Clavicular argue that law enforcement misinterpreted the dynamics of the stream and failed to account for his neurodivergence when assessing his role in the dispute.
The battery charge is not the only legal matter currently involving Peters in the state of Florida.
Shortly before his arrest in Fort Lauderdale, video surfaced showing the streamer and several friends on an airboat in the Everglades.
In the footage, Peters reportedly fires a handgun multiple times at an alligator in the water.
While TMZ reported that the alligator appeared to be already dead, the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC) has launched an official investigation into the discharge of firearms in the protected area.
Florida law specifically regulates alligator hunting, and the FWC noted that the state generally prohibits individuals on airboats from discharging firearms in that manner.
Lieutenant Governor Jay Collins confirmed that the commission is reviewing the video to determine if any environmental or safety laws were broken.
Clavicular previously faced felony charges in Arizona earlier this year for allegedly using a fake ID to enter a nightclub while carrying prescription medication, a situation he characterized as "political persecution.
