Peters, 20, was taken into custody by Fort Lauderdale police following a battery investigation stemming from an event last month in central Florida. Authorities accuse him of instigating a fight between two women and then posting a video of it on social media. According to the Osceola County Sheriff's Office, a 19-year-old woman reported being battered by Violet Marie Lentz, 24, on February 2 during a physical altercation at a residence rented by Peters.
Deputies arrived at the home, but Peters and Lentz refused to meet them outside to discuss the incident. The sheriff's office issued warrants for Peters on charges of misdemeanor battery and criminal conspiracy to commit battery, and for Lentz on a misdemeanor battery charge. Authorities are still searching for Lentz.
Peters was released from custody late on Friday. He is an influencer and streamer known for his 'looksmaxxing' content, which documents extreme measures to enhance his appearance, including using steroids and hitting his face with a hammer. Separately, the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission announced on Thursday it was launching an investigation into a video showing an alligator being shot at multiple times in the Florida Everglades.
The video depicts four people, including Peters, on an airboat appearing to discharge firearms at an alligator. It is unclear whether this investigation is directly related to Peters, and the current status of the alligator shooting probe has not been disclosed. The specific social media platform where the fight video was posted, the identity of the 19-year-old woman, and the exact location of the February 2 incident in central Florida remain unknown.
