.

“Looksmaxxing” influencer Clavicular – whose real name is Braden Peters – was arrested in Scottsdale, Arizona, after police determined he was a 20‑year‑old minor using a forged ID to enter Casa Amigos nightclub and found him in possession of two prescription‑only pills.

Details of the Arrest

On Saturday night, officers observed Peters entering Casa Amigos just before 11:20 p.m. Accompanied by a camera person and a bodyguard. Scottsdale Police coordinated with nightclub security to remove him from the venue. After being handcuffed, police discovered “some type of forged ID” and two prescription‑only pills on his person.

Potential Charges and Legal Process

Scottsdale police have recommended that Peters face three charges: possession of dangerous drugs, possession of a forged instrument, and using a fake ID to enter a liquor establishment as a minor. The Maricopa County Attorney’s Office will decide what formal charges, if any, will be filed. Peters appeared before a judge on Sunday, posted an Instagram story showing himself in the same all‑black outfit as his mugshot, and claimed a $25,000 bond and two felony charges amounted to “political persecution.” Court records confirming the bond amount have not been released.

Did You Know? Peters claimed he was working for Casa Amigos and intended to promote the nightclub when he was arrested.
Expert Insight: The case highlights how social‑media personalities can attract law‑enforcement scrutiny when their public stunts intersect with illegal activity, especially underage entry into age‑restricted venues. The recommended felony charges suggest prosecutors may treat the possession of prescription drugs and the forged ID as serious offenses, potentially setting a precedent for similar cases involving influencers.
