Overview
- Miami-Dade prosecutors filed a first-degree misdemeanor count on April 29 for unlawfully firing a gun in a public place, which carries up to a year in jail, up to a year of probation, and a $1,000 fine.
- The charge stems from a March 26 Kick livestream at the Francis S. Taylor Everglades boat ramp where video shows shots fired at an alligator that appeared dead.
- Two companions, Andrew Morales and Yabdiel Anibal Cotto Torres, face the same count, and court records list a $1,000 bond and a May 20 arraignment for Peters.
- Peters’ lawyers say he followed a licensed airboat guide’s directions and that no people or animals were harmed.
- The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission opened an investigation after the clip spread, and no separate wildlife-harm charge has been announced.
