He and his "GF" got arrested for inviting a drunk Jenny popach and fighting her. Nothing to do with the Gator situation. But he will try to twist it that way, even the headline in this article is misleading.^[12]

The Redditor notably linked to a post from the X^[13] account @barragers from late on March 26th, 2026, which made the claim that Clavicular was arrested alongside his girlfriend, Violet, likely due to a physical altercation with YouTuber and content creator Jenny Popach.
