Braden Peters, the 20-year-old influencer known as Clavicular, pleaded no contest Friday to unlawfully discharging a firearm in public after the Everglades shooting case.
The misdemeanor plea deal spared him jail but requires six months of probation, 20 hours of community service and a firearms safety course; if he complies, the charge will be removed from his record.
Court records also bar Peters from livestreaming the community service, a notable restriction for a creator whose public streams helped build his online following.
The case stemmed from a March video showing Peters and other young men on an airboat near Miami firing at an alligator that appeared to already be dead.
