Controversial online streamer Clavicular has been arrested in Scottsdale, Arizona, following a late-night incident at a local nightclub. According to reports from TMZ, the 20-year-old influencer allegedly entered the Casa Amigos venue using a forged identification card and was in possession of prescription medication without proper authorization.
Nightclub Incident and Arrest Details
The Scottsdale Police Department responded to a call just before 11:20 p.m. on Saturday regarding a potential underage patron inside the establishment. Officers coordinated with club security and escorted Clavicular from the premises. During the subsequent investigation, law enforcement discovered what they allege was a fake ID and two prescription-only pills in his possession.
Clavicular reportedly told officers he was working with the venue and intended to promote it. He was initially booked at the Scottsdale City Jail before being transferred to the Maricopa County Jail. Following a court appearance on Sunday, prosecutors recommended multiple charges including possession of dangerous drugs, possession of a forged instrument, and a minor using fake identification to enter a liquor establishment.
Streamer's Response and Bond
After his appearance before a judge, Clavicular took to social media platform X to criticize the charges. He claimed that receiving a $25,000 bond and two felony counts for being inside a bar amounted to what he called 'political persecution.' The Daily Mail has reached out to both Clavicular and the Scottsdale Police Department for comment but has not received a response at this time.
Previous Controversy and Platform Removal
This arrest comes months after Clavicular was removed from the streaming platform Kick following a chaotic Christmas Eve livestream that drew widespread backlash. According to TMZ, footage from the December 24 broadcast appeared to show an individual lying in front of the windshield of his car. A person off-camera can be heard telling him to 'start driving,' after which the vehicle appears to move forward over the individual.
The streamer was then heard saying: 'Is he dead? Hopefully.' Shortly after the footage circulated on social media, Clavicular's Kick channel became unavailable. In further footage, he was seen speaking to someone wearing a reflective safety jacket, claiming he acted in self-defense because people were surrounding his car and he could see what he described as 'a pistol' through clothing.
Platform's Reputation and International Scrutiny
Kick has long maintained a reputation for hosting extreme content. Last year, French prosecutors opened an investigation into the Australian streaming platform after an online star died on camera following what was described as 'ten days of torture and humiliation.' The probe will examine whether Kick 'knowingly' broadcast 'videos of deliberate attacks on personal integrity,' according to Paris prosecutor Laure Beccuau.
The investigation follows the death of 46-year-old Frenchman Raphael Graven, who had appeared in live shows on the platform where he was abused or humiliated. In a separate announcement, France's minister for digital affairs, Clara Chappaz, said the government would sue the platform for 'negligence' over its failure to block 'dangerous content.'
At the time of the Christmas Eve incident, Clavicular posted an AI-generated image online depicting his Cybertruck driving over a person, accompanied by a caption that critics described as dismissive of the serious nature of the alleged events.
