A popular internet video maker named Clavicular was taken to jail by the Fort Lauderdale Police Department on Friday, March 27, 2026.
The young man, whose real name is Braden Eric Peters, is in big trouble after a video showed him and some friends on a fast boat in the Florida Everglades.
In the video, it looks like Clavicular is using a gun to shoot at an alligator that might have already been dead.
Even though the alligator wasn't moving, Florida has very strict rules about guns and wild animals in the swamp.
The legal trouble currently stands as a primary mess for the 20-year-old's streaming career.
Its primary mandate involved an arrest for a "battery" charge, which is a word used when someone touches or hits another person in a way that is not allowed.
While the police were looking for him because of that fight, the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC) started their own investigation into the alligator video.
_ _“FWC officers are looking into the incident,” the agency said, warning that shooting gators is a serious crime.
The drama will also absorb and expand upon his missing internet presence. A critical component of the "spicy" news is that Clavicular’s Kick account, where he usually talks to his fans, has been deleted or hidden.
One reporter cited the $1,000 bond as the primary reason he might be allowed to go home soon, but he still has to talk to a judge about the fight and the alligator.
If the wildlife officers decide he broke the rules, he could face a felony, which is a much bigger type of trouble.
One of the most immediate challenges for the streamer is that he was in the middle of a "30-day subathon" to make money when the cops showed up.
Observers cited the "viral video" as the primary reason the police were able to find him so quickly. “You can't just go into the glades and start blasting,” one person wrote online.
Even if the gator was already "meat," the law says you need a special permit to touch them, and you can't use a regular gun to hunt them.
The establishment of this "swamp investigation" follows a week of Clavicular trying to get more followers by doing wild stunts.
While he is currently waiting in a jail cell, the emphasis remains on whether he will be allowed back on the internet.
Director-level officers at the FWC pledged to protect Florida's animals from "clout-chasers" who break the law for views.
As the news spreads, the question remains: “Will Clavicular lose his streaming fans for good after this 'Gator-Gate' disaster?”, a question that his friends and followers are asking all over social media today.
