Clavicular’s Arizona Arrest: Potential Jail Time and Charges Explained

Kick streamer Clavicular, whose real name is Braden Peters, is facing potential prison time following his recent arrest while streaming live in Arizona. The incident occurred late on February 7, and a court hearing, which was also streamed, indicated that there is probable cause for a series of serious charges against him.

Peters has been charged with two Class 4 felonies: one for forgery related to possessing a forged instrument and another for the possession or use of dangerous drugs. In addition, he received a Class 1 misdemeanor for allegedly using a false ID to enter a bar.

During the initial court proceedings that a friend broadcast through Peters’ Kick channel, viewers witnessed the unfolding drama as the judge addressed the charges, which quickly garnered significant online attention.

Peters’ legal counsel contested the forgery charge, arguing that the evidence does not satisfy Arizona’s legal definition of forgery, which necessitates intent to defraud. They claimed that the fake ID was merely found during questioning and had not been used to deceive anyone. Furthermore, they emphasized that bar staff did not indicate that Peters had utilized the ID, asserting that he was present as a promoter, which, they argued, undermined the probable cause for the ensuing search that uncovered the drug-related offense.

Despite these defenses, the judge determined that the facts presented warranted probable cause for all charges. The court has scheduled a status conference for February 23 at 8:30 AM, followed by a preliminary hearing on February 26 at the same time.

Potential Sentencing for Clavicular

Should Peters be found guilty, the implications under Arizona law could be severe.

A Class 4 felony, applicable to both forgery and the possession of dangerous drugs, can result in a maximum sentence of 3.75 years for first-time offenders. The misdemeanor charge related to using a fake ID can add up to six months in jail along with potential fines of up to $2, 500.

If Peters has no prior felony offenses and the sentences for the felonies are applied consecutively, he faces a maximum of 7.5 years on the felony charges, plus up to six months for the misdemeanor. Conversely, if the felony sentences are served concurrently, his exposure could be limited to 3.75 years, along with the potential six-month jail term for the misdemeanor.

The actual sentencing will ultimately hinge on Peters’ criminal history and the court’s discretion in imposing penalties, should he be convicted.

Clavicular is notable in the streaming community for his content that focuses on strenuous body workouts and self-improvement strategies. It’s worth noting that his Kick channel had faced a temporary ban in December when he streamed an incident involving an alleged “stalker” where it appeared he ran them over with his Cybertruck; however, authorities elected not to press charges in that case.

In recent months, Arizona law enforcement has taken similar actions against other online content creators, such as prankster Heston James, who has faced allegations related to disruptive behavior during his filmed stunts.
