Controversial online streamer Clavicular has been arrested in Arizona, late Saturday night.
According to TMZ, the influencer, 20, allegedly entered a Scottsdale nightclub using a fake ID and possessing prescription medication without authorization.
According to the Scottsdale Police Department, officers were alerted just before 11:20 p.m. to a possible underage patron inside Casa Amigos.
Clavicular was allegedly accompanied by a cameraman and a bodyguard when he entered the venue.
Police say that after coordinating with club security, officers escorted Clavicular out of the nightclub and subsequently discovered what they allege was a forged identification card along with two prescription-only pills in his possession.
Clavicular reportedly told officers he was working with the venue and planned to promote it.

He was initially booked into the Scottsdale City Jail before being transferred to the Maricopa County Jail, TMZ reported.
Following a court appearance on Sunday, prosecutors recommended multiple charges, including possession of dangerous drugs, possession of a forged instrument and minor using a fake ID to enter a liquor establishment.
The Daily Mail has reached out to Clavicular and the Scottsdale Police Department, but has not heard back, at this time.
After his appearance before a judge, Clavicular took to X to criticize the charges, writing that receiving a $25,000 bond and two felony counts for being inside a bar amounted to what he called 'political persecution.'
The arrest comes months after Clavicular was removed from the streaming platform Kick following a chaotic Christmas Eve livestream that drew widespread backlash.
According to TMZ, footage from the December 24 broadcast appeared to show an individual lying in front of the windshield of his car.
A person off-camera can be heard telling him to 'start driving', after which the driver appears to move forward over the individual.
The streamer then said: 'Is he dead? Hopefully.'

Shortly after the footage went round social media, Clavicular's Kick channel became unavailable.
In further footage, he was seen speaking to an individual wearing a reflective safety jacket.
He was heard claiming he acted out of self-defence: 'You saw that? Bro, they were surrounding our car. Yeah, exactly, I can't see s**t. Well, that's why… when you're afraid… well, I don't know what's going on.'
He alleged that people around the vehicle were armed, saying he could see 'a pistol' through clothing.
At the time, Clavicular posted an AI-generated image posted online depicting his Cybertruck driving over a person, accompanied by a caption critics described as dismissive.

Kick has long had a reputation of hosting extreme content.
Last year, French prosecutors opened an investigation into the Australian streaming platform after an online star died on camera following 'ten days of torture and humiliation'.
The probe will examine whether Kick 'knowingly' broadcast 'videos of deliberate attacks on personal integrity,' Paris prosecutor Laure Beccuau said, after the death of Raphael Graven.
The 46-year-old Frenchman had appeared in live shows on the platform in which he was abused or humiliated.
In a separate announcement, France's minister for digital affairs, Clara Chappaz, said the government would sue the platform for 'negligence' over its failure to block 'dangerous content.'
