Braden Eric Peters arrested after battery charge and alligator shooting probe
An online streamer and influencer known as Clavicular has bonded out of jail after being arrested by Fort Lauderdale police on a battery charge on Friday.
Peters was released from jail only to retreat into the lobby for approximately 10 minutes. He hid after spotting television cameras and realizing no one was there to pick him up. Peters is known for emphasizing looks and masculinity.
The charge for Clavicular, whose real name is Braden Eric Peters, stems from a case out of Osceola County, just south of Orlando, according to the Osceola County Sheriff's Office. His bond was set at $1000 while he is scheduled to face charges in Central Florida.
The sheriff's office said that deputies responded to an Airbnb in Kissimmee in reference to a battery investigation on Feb. 2.
The deputies said that a 19-year-old woman reported that she had been battered by 24-year-old Violet Marie Lentz.
The incident allegedly occurred inside a residence that was rented out by Peters, 20.
Peters was arrested at a lavish Las Olas Isles Mansion in Fort Lauderdale that rents for $65,000 a month. Neighbors complained that the parties there were very loud and the cars made it difficult to drive on their narrow street.
"This street gets loaded up with cars on a daily or weekly basis, depending on what's going on. It's pretty much a party house," neighbor Brad Tuckman said.
The sheriff's office said that the victim was battered by Lentz during a physical altercation.
Investigators said they were able to determine that Peters instigated the fight between the victim and Lentz and posted it on social media to exploit the women.
When deputies arrived at the home to investigate, the sheriff's office said that neither Peters nor Lentz would come outside to speak about the incident.
The investigation continued, and the sheriff's office said that they spoke with witnesses and reviewed video.
After the investigation, an arrest warrant was issued for Peters for misdemeanor battery and criminal conspiracy to commit battery.
A warrant was also issued for Lentz for misdemeanor battery.
Peters was then arrested by the Fort Lauderdale Police Department, and investigators are still searching for Lentz.
According to reports, the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC) is also looking into allegations that Clavicular was involved in the shooting of an alligator in the Florida Everglades.
"The FWC is aware of a video depicting individuals in the Everglades on an airboat who appear to be discharging firearms at an alligator," the FWC said in a post on X. "FWC officers are looking into the incident and will provide additional information when available.
When asked by our News Miami reporters if he instigated the fight, Peters gave no response. Authorities are also looking into video that allegedly shows Peters and another man shooting an already dead alligator in the Everglades. Again, Peters offered no response when asked about the video.
When reporters noted that he is usually "pretty chatty" and asked if he had "anything to say," Peters replied, "Yeah, sure. Just woke up, I'm a little tired. Maybe next time."
