Overview
- Braden Eric Peters, 20, known as Clavicular, was arrested Thursday night in Fort Lauderdale on a misdemeanor battery warrant from Osceola County and later posted a $1,000 bond.
- Hours earlier, a Kick livestream showed him and others on an airboat firing dozens of rounds at a floating alligator in the Everglades in a clip that quickly spread online.
- The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission said it is investigating the video and has not announced any wildlife-related charges.
- Florida statutes bar shooting guns in public places and prohibit killing, injuring, or harassing alligators without authorization, with penalties that can include jail time, fines, and potential federal fines if authorities escalate the case.
- Fallout followed the viral clip as the feed cut and his 30-day marathon stream ended early, the lieutenant governor publicly urged charges, and outlets reported the Kick video was pulled or made private.
