'Looksmaxxer' Clavicular under investigation after opening fire on alligator during livestream

‘Looksmaxxer’ Clavicular is facing legal trouble after being investigated over the shooting of an alligator and an alleged misdemeanour assault.

The controversial streamer, real name Braden Peters, rose to fame on the internet as part of the looksmaxxing movement, with the 20-year-old infamously hitting himself in the face with a hammer.

His popularity has no doubt only soared thanks to the growth of the online manosphere, which has a huge focus on how men look and behave, with the youngster boasting close to a million online followers thanks to his controversial brand of content.

However, Peters has now fallen foul of the law, with investigations ongoing after a controversial moment on the influencer's Kick stream, which saw him allegedly shoot an alligator on stream.

Although his arrest was reported shortly after the bizarre animal abuse, it seems as if that incident occurred in a different county to his arrest after a warrant was issued in Osceola County.

According to US journalist Taylor Lorenz, Peters was arrested in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, on a misdemeanour assault charge.

Lorenz confirmed the arrest details by posting a screenshot of the warrant, adding that while the exact reason for the arrest is unclear, it's believed to be related to a previous fight between his girlfriend and influencer Jenny Popach.

It's also worth noting that no physical contact is required for a person to be charged with misdemeanour assault.

It's unclear at the time of writing if the influencer could face additional charges for his actions on stream, which saw him pull out shoot an alligator in the everglades.

During the March 26 stream on Kick, Clavicular and his crew passed an alligator, with one of the crew members pulling out a gun and shooting the animal.

“Is it dead? Can we shoot it?” Clavicular said. “Can we dump a round into it? Let’s test really how dead it is.”

After unloading a magazine of his own, the streamer said: "Yeah, I think it's dead."

While nothing has been confirmed, Florida law states it’s illegal to harass or kill an alligator outside the limited permits that the state gives out to hunters during the summer.

And the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission has since issued a statement on social media, stating: "The FWC is aware of a video depicting individuals in the Everglades on an airboat who appear to be discharging firearms at an alligator. FWC officers are looking into the incident and will provide additional information when available."

If he does end up behind bars, the looksmaxxer may well struggle to keep up with his 'daily drug cocktail' and bone-smashing techniques, as I doubt the prison officers will believe that's what he's actually using the hammer for.
