The 20-year-old influencer, whose real name is Braden Eric Peters, was arrested in Florida earlier this week on allegations linked to a violent altercation. He is also being investigated over a viral clip showing him shooting at a dead alligator.
Authorities in Florida arrested Clavicular on misdemeanor battery and conspiracy charges tied to a February incident in which he allegedly instigated a physical altercation between two women at a rental property.

What Clavicular said after the release on bond?
CBS Miami captured Clavicular walking out of the Broward County Jail after paying a bond of $1,000.
Clavicular was released from jail early this evening on bond, according to reporter Ted Scouten. According to Scouten, Clavicular was on the phone as he walked out of the jail. Since no one was available to bring him up, Scouten explained that Clavicular was searching for a ride.
According to Scouten, Clavicular was questioned about the Everglades incident and his battery charge, but he gave no response.
However, when Scouten said, "You're usually pretty chatty," he did respond. Do you have something to say?
Clavicular said, "Just woke up," in response to the query. “I am a little tired, so maybe next time.”
Clavicular battery charges and investigation details
Clavicular was taken into custody in Fort Lauderdale on Thursday, according to a news statement from the Osceola County Sheriff's Office.
The press release states that just after 4 am on February 2, Osceola County deputies responded to an Airbnb near Kissimmee for a battery.
Deputies were informed by an anonymous 19-year-old lady that Violet Marie Lentz, 24, had reportedly beaten her. But according to the press release, investigators found that Clavicular "instigated the fight" and "posted it on social media to exploit the two women."
After Clavicular refused to talk to the deputies at the scene, a warrant for Clavicular's arrest for misdemeanor battery and criminal conspiracy to commit battery was issued, and he was hauled into jail and put into Broward County Jail.
