Kick streamer Clavicular was arrested live on stream late Saturday night in Arizona, with a judge later ruling there was probable cause for multiple felony charges during a court hearing that was also broadcast to viewers.
Late on February 7, police approached Clavicular while he was live-streaming on Kick.
In footage shared online, an officer informed him that he was being arrested in connection with allegedly using a false ID to enter a liquor establishment while under the age of 21. The stream ended shortly afterward as Clavicular was taken into custody.
Court records later showed that Clavicular was booked on three alleged charges. These include two Class 4 felony counts for forgery involving possession of a forged instrument and dangerous drug possession or use, along with a Class 1 misdemeanor for a minor using a false ID to enter a liquor establishment.
All charges remain allegations and have not been adjudicated.
Clavicular court hearing and release
On Sunday, February 8, Clavicular appeared in an initial court hearing related to the arrest. The hearing was streamed live on his Kick channel by a friend who was with him during the arrest, drawing significant attention online as the proceedings unfolded in real time.
During the hearing, Clavicular’s attorney argued that the forgery charge did not meet the statutory requirements under Arizona law. He stated that a forgery possession charge requires intent to defraud and claimed the fake ID was merely found on Clavicular’s person during police questioning, not actively used to deceive anyone.
The attorney also argued that staff at the licensed establishment did not state that Clavicular used the false ID and claimed he was being hired as a promoter, which he said undermined probable cause for the subsequent search that allegedly uncovered dangerous drugs.
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 set for February 26 at 8:30 AM.
The judge declined to impose bail and ruled that Clavicular would be released on his own recognizance. Standard release conditions apply, including an order not to return to the scene of the alleged offense.
Following the hearing, Clavicular’s attorney appeared on stream and stated that his client would be processed out of custody and released within a few hours. No additional release conditions were imposed beyond the standard restrictions.
As of now, the case remains ongoing, and all charges are unproven as it moves toward the next scheduled court dates later this month.
