Influencer ‘Clavicular' arrested on battery warrant in Fort Lauderdale, records show
A well-known influencer known as “Clavicular” has been arrested in Fort Lauderdale on a warrant for battery, jail records showed.
“Clavicular,” whose real name is Braden Eric Peters, was arrested by Fort Lauderdale Police on Thursday, Broward jail records showed.
In a statement Friday, Fort Lauderdale Police said the Osceola County Sheriff’s Office requested their assistance in locating a subject with an active warrant for misdemeanor battery and a short time later, police located and arrested Peters.
An “out of county hold” was placed on Peters from Osceola County, the jail records said.
Osceola County Sheriff’s Office officials said Peters and a woman identified as 24-year-old Violet Marie Lentz are accused of participating in the battery of a 19-year-old woman at a short-term rental home near Kissimmee.
The 19-year-old was allegedly battered by Lentz in the home that was rented by Peters, and detectives determined Peters instigated the fight and posted it on social media to exploit the two women, the sheriff’s office said.
“Neither Peters nor Lentz came out of the residence to speak to deputies about the incident when they arrived at the house to investigate,” the sheriff’s office said in a statement. “Detectives from the Osceola Sheriff’s Office completed their investigation after reviewing videos and talking with witnesses.”
Lentz was also arrested on a misdemeanor battery charge and booked into the Broward County Jail, the sheriff’s office said.
Peters walked out of jail Friday evening and did not answer questions from reporters.
The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission is investigating a separate incident in the Everglades that appears to involve Peters.
The FWC posted on X that it is aware of a video depicting individuals in the Everglades on an airboat who appear to be discharging firearms at an alligator.
On the boat with Peters was Miami man Andrew Morales, also known as the “Cuban Tarzan.” NBC6 has interviewed Morales about his work with local wildlife, most recently frozen iguanas. He told NBC6 “no comment” when asked about the incident over the phone.
The 20-year-old Peters is an influencer and streamer who is known for “looksmaxxing” content which revolves around physical appearances and the sometimes extreme methods used to appear more attractive.
He has hundreds of thousands of online followers and has been featured in articles by The New York Times and The New Yorker.
