Clavicular<\/a>, the “looksmaxxing” figure whose real name is Braden Eric Peters, and two others are facing charges in Miami-Dade in connection to video footage of them opening fire.<\/p>\n

The incident happened on March 26 when Peters and two others did “unlawfully and knowingly discharge a firearm in a public space” at the Francis Taylor Everglades, in an act that was “against the peace and dignity of the State of Florida,” according to court documents. <\/p>\n

Clavicular, Yabdiel Anibal Cotto Torres and Andrew Morales all face the same single charge.<\/p>\n

Back in late March, the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission said it was “aware of a video depicting individuals in the Everglades on an airboat who appear to be discharging firearms at an alligator.”<\/p>\n

The animal was already dead and Clavicular believed he had permission to open fire, his representative said in a statement.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur client has been summoned to appear for a misdemeanor charge that stems from following the instructions of a licensed airboat guide. He relied on that guidance,” the statement said. <\/p>\n

“No animals or people were harmed. We are confident that once the full picture is understood, people will see this for what it is.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Divisive beauty influencer Clavicular interrupted the “peace and dignity” of the Florida everglades by allegedly firing shots at…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":260927,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[28,30,29],"class_list":["post-260926","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-florida","tag-florida","tag-florida-headlines","tag-florida-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/260926","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=260926"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/260926\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/260927"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=260926"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=260926"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=260926"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
