Fact Check: Clavicular’s Arrest Status After Viral Alligator Shooting Explained
A short video showing Braden Eric Peters, known online as Clavicular, sparked outrage this week. The clip appears to show the 20-year-old firing at an alligator while streaming from the Florida Everglades.
What the footage appears to show
The recording circulated widely on X and other platforms. In it, Peters is on an airboat with others and seems to fire multiple shots at a gator.
Viewers quickly questioned the act’s legality and ethics. The stream reportedly interrupted a live subathon.
Legal context and official response
Florida law generally prohibits using firearms to kill alligators except in limited circumstances. Even possession of a dead alligator can trigger penalties under state rules.
The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission confirmed awareness of the video. The agency said officers are investigating and will release more information when available.
FWC asked the public to report wildlife violations to the Wildlife Alert Hotline at 888-404-3922.
Possible charges discussed online
Online analyses, including AI-generated posts, suggested potential penalties. Those posts cited a possible third-degree felony under FL Statute 379.409.
The suggested penalties included up to five years in prison, a $5,000 fine, and possible seizure of gear or boat. No official charges have been announced.
Arrest claims and related reports
Claims that Peters was arrested spread quickly after the clip circulated. Those reports are not confirmed by law enforcement.
Streamer Adin Ross posted that Peters had been detained, but said the detention was not related to the gator video. Other reports tied any arrest to a separate altercation involving associates.

This fact check addresses Clavicular’s arrest status after the viral alligator shooting. As of now, no verified public record links an arrest to the Everglades video.
