Kick streamer Clavicular could be facing years behind bars after being arrested live on stream in Arizona.
The 20-year-old, whose real name is Braden Peters, was taken into custody late on February 7. A judge later ruled there was probable cause for multiple felony charges during a court hearing, which was also broadcast to viewers.
According to court records shared online, Peters was booked on two Class 4 felony counts: forgery involving possession of a forged instrument and dangerous drug possession or use. He was also issued a Class 1 misdemeanor for a minor using a false ID to enter a liquor establishment.
Peters appeared in an initial court hearing related to the arrest, which was streamed on his Kick channel by a friend who was with him at the time. The proceedings quickly drew attention online as viewers watched the case unfold in real time.
During the hearing, Peters’ attorney pushed back on the forgery charge, arguing it failed to meet Arizona’s legal standard. He said possession of a forged instrument requires intent to defraud, and claimed the fake ID was simply found on Peters during questioning, not used to deceive anyone.
The defense added that staff at the establishment never stated he used the ID and argued he was there as a promoter, a claim they said weakens probable cause for the search that allegedly led to the drug charge.
Despite those arguments, the judge ruled that the totality of the circumstances met the standard for probable cause on all three charges. The court scheduled a status conference for February 23 at 8:30 AM, followed by a preliminary hearing on February 26 at 8:30 AM.
Clavicular could be sentenced to over 7 years in prison
If convicted, the charges carry significant potential penalties under Arizona law.
A Class 4 felony, which applies to both the forgery and dangerous drug possession charges, carries a maximum sentence of 3.75 years in prison for a first-time, non-dangerous offender. The misdemeanor charge of a minor using a fake ID to enter a liquor establishment carries up to six months in jail, along with possible fines that can reach $2,500.
If Peters has no prior felony convictions and the two felony sentences are imposed consecutively, he could face up to 7.5 years for the felonies, plus up to six months for the misdemeanor, bringing his maximum exposure to eight years in prison.
If the felony sentences are instead run concurrently, the maximum prison time would be 3.75 years, plus up to six months on the misdemeanor.
Actual sentencing would depend on his criminal history and how the court ultimately structures any penalties if he is convicted.
Clavicular is known for content centered on intense body regimens and self-improvement. His Kick page was temporarily banned in December after he appeared to run over a “stalker” with his Cybertruck during a livestream. Police ultimately declined to file charges in that incident.
Arizona authorities have also taken action against other online creators in recent months, including viral prankster Heston James, who is accused of disrupting businesses during filmed stunts.
