A controversial internet streamer who goes by the name Clavicular has been arrested in south Florida on a battery charge.
Braden Eric Peters was taken into custody on Thursday by police in Fort Lauderdale after a battery investigation stemming from an incident last month in central Florida, investigators said.
Peters is accused of instigating a fight between two women and then posting a video of it on social media, authorities said. The BBC has contacted Peters for comment.
Clavicular is primarily known for his role in an online movement called looksmaxxing, centred on maximising physical attractiveness.
A 19-year-old woman reported that she had been battered by Violet Marie Lentz, 24, on 2 February during a physical altercation in a residence rented out by Peters, 20, Osceola County Sheriff’s Office said.
Deputies arrived at the home but Peters and Lentz would not meet them outside to speak about the incident.
A warrant was issued by the sheriff’s office for Peters for charges of misdemeanour battery and criminal conspiracy to commit battery.
A warrant was also issued for Lentz for misdemeanour battery. Authorities are still searching for her, the sheriff’s office said.
