Kick streamer Clavicular is facing up to one year in jail after being charged over a viral livestream where he appeared to fire multiple rounds at an alligator in the Florida Everglades.
Braden Eric Peters, better known online as Clavicular, was already under investigation by the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission after clips from his March 26 Kick stream went viral on social media. The footage showed Peters and others on an airboat firing shots at an alligator in the water.
As first reported by Miami New Times, court records show the Miami-Dade State Attorney’s Office filed charges against Peters on April 29. The charge is listed as unlawful discharge of a firearm in a public place, or on or over a public road, highway, street, or occupied premises.

According to the court filing, the alleged incident happened at the Francis Taylor Everglades Wildlife Management Area boat ramp dock in Miami-Dade County. The same filing also names Andrew Morales, a streamer known as Cuban Tarzan, and Yabdiel Anibal Cotto Torres as defendants.
Clavicular faces up to one year in jail
The charge against Peters is listed as a first-degree misdemeanor under Florida law. Miami New Times reports that reckless discharge of a firearm can carry up to one year in jail, one year of probation, and a $1,000 fine.
The attached warrant form also lists the charge as “Reckless Discharge F.A.” and shows a $1,000 bond amount for Peters.
A court hearing is currently scheduled for May 20, according to Miami New Times.
Peters’ attorneys, Steven Kramer and Jeffrey Neiman, told the outlet the charge “stems from following the instructions of a licensed airboat guide.”

“He relied on that guidance,” they said. “No animals or people were harmed. We are confident that once the full picture is understood, people will see this for what it is.”
The charge follows Clavicular’s March livestream, where he and others stopped near what appeared to be an alligator in the water. During the broadcast, Peters asked: “Can we dump a round into it? Let’s test really how dead it is.”
After another person began shooting, Peters also stood up and fired at the animal. He later said: “Yeah, I think it’s dead.”
FWC previously said it was aware of “a video depicting individuals in the Everglades on an airboat who appear to be discharging firearms at an alligator,” adding that officers were looking into the incident.
The new case is separate from Clavicular’s March arrest in Fort Lauderdale, where he was taken into custody on a misdemeanor battery charge tied to a previous incident in Osceola County.
