Social media influencer Clavicular, real name Braden Eric Peters, faces charges in Florida after a livestream showed him shooting an apparently dead alligator in the Everglades. The charges, filed on 26 March, include unlawfully discharging a firearm in a public place or residential property, according to legal documents obtained by ABC6.
The charge carries a potential fine of $1,000 and possible jail time or probation. The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission said it was aware of the video and was investigating, but did not name Peters.
Peters' attorney stated that his client was following instructions from a licensed airboat guide and that no animals or people were harmed. Two others, Andrew Morales and Yabdiel Anibal Cotto Torres, were also charged. Morales is known as 'The Cuban Tarzan'.
Clavicular is a prominent figure in the 'looksmaxxing' community, which focuses on extreme measures to enhance physical attractiveness. He has been involved in previous controversies, including a livestream where he appeared to run over a pedestrian and a nightclub incident with Andrew Tate.
In March, Peters was arrested on battery charges related to an alleged fight involving his girlfriend and another woman. Authorities accused him of posting the violence on social media to exploit the women.
