Savannah Guthrie returned to NBC&#8217;s &#8220;Today&#8221; show Monday as the search continues for her missing 84-year-old mother, Nancy.
&#8220;We are so glad you started your week with us, and it is good to be home,&#8221; Guthrie <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3owh3HXBz-g">said</a> at the top of the broadcast.
Savannah&#8217;s co-anchor Craig Melvin welcomed her back, telling her, &#8220;Yes, it is good to have you at home.&#8221; Both wore yellow as a symbol of hope, matching the yellow ribbons and flowers outside of Nancy&#8217;s home.
Savannah seemingly resumed her hosting duties effortlessly, covering the day&#8217;s news and conducting interviews, including a segment on the rescue of a missing Air Force officer in Iran.
Outside Rockefeller Plaza, fans gathered holding yellow ribbons, flowers, and signs of support, including messages reading, &#8220;We love you, Savannah,&#8221; and &#8220;We love you, Nancy.&#8221;
&#8220;These signs are so beautiful, you guys have been so beautiful,&#8221; Savannah told the crowd of supporters, at times appearing emotional. &#8220;I&#8217;ve received so many letters, so much kindness to me and my whole family. We feel it. We feel your prayers.&#8221;
During commercial breaks, Savannah interacted with her fans, taking photos and thanking them for their encouragement.
In a <a href="https://www.instagram.com/reel/DWyvv8ME_Tb/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link&amp;igsh=MzRlODBiNWFlZA==">video</a> message shared on Easter Sunday with her church, Guthrie reflected on faith and hardship.
&#8220;Perhaps this is too dark a message to share on Easter morning, but I have long believed that we miss out on fully celebrating resurrection if we do not acknowledge the feelings of loss, pain, and yes, death,&#8221; Savannah said in the video. &#8220;It is the darkness that makes this morning&#8217;s light so magnificent, so blindingly beautiful. It is all the brighter because it is so desperately needed.&#8221;
&#8220;So, I close my eyes this morning and I feel the sunshine. I see a bright vision of the day when heaven and earth pass away because they are one on earth as it is in heaven. When we celebrate today, this is what we celebrate. And I celebrate too. I still believe. And so I say with conviction — Happy Easter.&#8221;
Nancy Guthrie was last seen ten weeks ago on January 31. Authorities in Pima County, Arizona, said she was forcefully taken from her home overnight. The Guthrie family is offering a $1 million reward for information leading to her recovery, in addition to rewards offered by the FBI and Crime Stoppers.
Anyone with information is urged to contact the FBI at 1-800-CALL-FBI.

The ESPN studios are usually filled with stats, stories, and opinions, but on Thursday during NFL Live, the set was filled with tears as host Dan Orlovsky&#8217;s son, Madden, delivered an inspiring message for World Autism Awareness Day.
The 14-year-old, who has autism, appeared against a backdrop of his artwork and spoke about his love for sports and his family.
&#8220;I want to tell this to Hunter, Nolen, Lennon, and Mom if they&#8217;re watching this. Mom, I love you. Hunter, you&#8217;re my favorite twin. Noah, I do like you and Lennon, you&#8217;re a good sister,&#8221; Madden said.
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet">
Madden Orlovsky had a heartfelt message for his family and friends in honor of World Autism Awareness Day 🥹
This was a special moment for all of us at ESPN. Thanks, Madden and <a href="https://twitter.com/danorlovsky7?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@danorlovsky7</a> ❤️ <a href="https://t.co/BnWu7cSXmV">pic.twitter.com/BnWu7cSXmV</a>

&nbsp;</blockquote>
The moment moved Orlovsky to tears.
&#8220;Are you crying? Madden asked his father.
&#8220;Yeah, because I love you,&#8221; he told his son.
Madden has appeared on the show before, including during last year&#8217;s World Autism Awareness Day broadcast, where he was introduced as the &#8220;NFL Live resident artist.&#8221;
ESPN host Laura Rutledge praised Madden during the segment.
&#8220;I just want to tell you how inspiring you are to so many people,&#8221; she said. &#8220;There&#8217;s a lot of people watching right now that may think they can&#8217;t do something like this, or they can&#8217;t go on TV and talk and sing, and you&#8217;re up here being absolutely awesome.&#8221;
During the appearance, Madden shared some of his favorite things, including his devotion to the Philadelphia Eagles and his favorite foods.
&#8220;I have great artwork, great coloring, great handwriting,&#8221; Madden explained. &#8220;I love other things. I love playing video games. I love the Eagles &#8230; I love eating pizza, cheeseburgers, french fries, hot dogs, and chicken nuggets.&#8221;
The Eagles super fan got a big surprise during his appearance when his favorite player, wide receiver Devonta Smith, and the Eagles Autism Foundation surprised him with a gift basket full and a note from the Eagles, which Madden read out loud:
<blockquote>Madden,
Happy Autism Acceptance Month. It was so great to have you at our All Abilities Clinic. We are so excited to celebrate you, not only this month, but 365 days a year. Please enjoy this box of swag to rock and wear proudly as a member of our community.
Best,
Eagles Autism Foundation</blockquote>
According to Autism Speaks, 1 in 31 children is diagnosed with the neurodevelopmental condition. Madden&#8217;s enthusiasm stole the show and swelled the hearts of viewers as he raised awareness for kids like him.
&#8220;Thank you all for supporting me,&#8221; Madden said.

Jaden Ivey addressed claims that he has not been doing well mentally — and gave insight to his family dynamic — after the Chicago Bulls waived the former top-10 draft pick for being &#8220;detrimental&#8221; to the team over comments criticizing the NBA’s &#8220;Pride&#8221; celebrations.
&#8220;Y&#8217;all going to say I&#8217;m crazy now?” Ivey asked in a livestream on Instagram Tuesday. &#8220;He&#8217;s mentally going insane, right? But I&#8217;m not. I have peace, I have joy.&#8221;
Ivey’s comments about his biblical beliefs have been met with praise from other athletes including TreVeyon Henderson — as well as criticism, even from his family.
Since his release from the Bulls, Ivey said his wife is no longer talking to him and his family members are calling him &#8220;psycho&#8221; amid the controversy.
&#8220;These are my own family members who love me,&#8221; Ivey said during his Instagram live stream Tuesday. &#8220;My blood, those who raise me saying that I don&#8217;t know the truth … saying I&#8217;m losing my mind.&#8221;
The Purdue alum also appeared on the PinPoint podcast Tuesday night, where he defended his comments about the NBA promoting &#8220;Pride&#8221; events which Ivey called &#8220;unrighteous&#8221; saying his opinions were not &#8220;detrimental&#8221; to the team.
Ivey said that he was a good teammate and strong player and added that he believed the league&#8217;s move of waiving him was hypocritical after Timberwolves star Anthony Edwards was only fined for using a homophobic slur back in 2022.
&#8220;How is it that he said something detrimental and basically hypocritical judgment because he’s not a Christian, and he got fined. He didn’t get kicked out of the league. He didn’t get waived, right? But it’s because he’s the best player on their team, right? They need him, right? He makes them money, right?&#8221; Ivey said.
Ivey has posted numerous Instagram lives since last week when the Bulls ruled him out for the rest of the season for a knee injury.
Though he claims his mental health now is in good shape, it hasn&#8217;t always been that way. Ivey opened up about how his injuries, particularly his broken fibula last year, caused him to be suicidal, but God saved him.
&#8220;There&#8217;s been many times where God has been so merciful, bro. Like, I&#8217;ve almost committed suicide multiple times, and I&#8217;m not ashamed to say it. I&#8217;m not ashamed because God was merciful to keep me here,&#8221; Ivey said.
&#8220;I had oxy pills in my hand, and my wife was telling me, don&#8217;t do it. Don&#8217;t do this. Don&#8217;t go down this road, and God was convicting me and I didn&#8217;t know the truth. And so then, man, I didn&#8217;t do it by God&#8217;s grace. He kept me here.&#8221;
The guard — who was averaging 11.5 points per game before his release — said the Bulls dismissing him won&#8217;t stop his basketball career.
Ivey says he would answer a team&#8217;s call tomorrow in the NBA, but he would also consider playing in other leagues, too.
&#8220;As long as I&#8217;m doing the will of God, abiding in Jesus Christ, that&#8217;s what matters.&#8221;

The Fallout Grows More Personal For NBA Star Axed Over Christian Beliefs

Jaden Ivey

April is almost upon us — and while the showers are certainly coming soon to make way for May&#8217;s flowers, we first have to get past April 1: So let the pranks begin.
I grew up in a household where my Mom loved April Fools Day. Year after year, she would somehow fool us with her creative pranks. Here are a few of her tried and true favorites: these pranks are family-friendly and sure to get a laugh — or a groan — as the month of April kicks off.
<ul>
<li>Freeze the breakfast cereal: This one is self-explanatory and easy to pull off. Pour the cereal and milk tonight and place in the freezer! Works every time.</li>
<li>Put Tootsie Rolls in remote instead of batteries: There is nothing more frustrating than a broken remote. Replace the batteries with Tootsie Rolls and sit back and watch your family member try to solve the problem, or should we say &#8230; prank.</li>
<li>Vegetables in a Krispy Kreme donut box: Evil, yet effective. Grab a Krispy Kreme or your favorite donut shop box and fill it up with carrots, celery, you know the good stuff. Office treats on you!</li>
<li>Brown “E’s” in a pan: Grab some brown paper and cut out a few &#8220;E&#8217;s&#8221; to place in a tinfoil covered pan. Maybe have some backup brownies for real, because this isn&#8217;t going to go over at all.</li>
<li>Milk&#8217;s gone bad: Draw a scary face on the milk jug, and maybe throw a ski mask over it, because the milk has gone bad!</li>
<li>Put an animal snout on bottom of coffee mug/cup: This is my Mom&#8217;s plan for my Dad this year. She has attached a pig snout to the bottom of his coffee cup he uses in the morning, and her hope is when he drinks it in front of his co-workers they will see the funny snout.</li>
</ul>
<div id="attachment_1069753" style="width: 874px" class="wp-caption alignnone"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-1069753" class="size-large wp-image-1069753" src="https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2026/03/Untitled-design-47-864x576.png" alt="" width="864" height="576" srcset="https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2026/03/Untitled-design-47-864x576.png 864w, https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2026/03/Untitled-design-47-300x200.png 300w, https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2026/03/Untitled-design-47-768x512.png 768w, https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2026/03/Untitled-design-47.png 1200w" sizes=" (max-width: 864px) 100vw, 864px" />April Fools&#8217; Day Prank Ideas</div>
<ul>
<li>Put “googly eyes” on random items in the refrigerator: Grab the googly eyes and put them on everything! The butter, the ketchup, the eggs, the probably moldy spaghetti from last week. Go crazy!</li>
<li>Cream cheese in deodorant: Old church prank from back in my day, and you may say it&#8217;s &#8220;cheesy&#8221; but it&#8217;s so funny. Have fun scraping out the deodorant block. Then add a block of cream cheese inside, sculpt it like used deodorant and put it away for your kids or spouse to discover!</li>
<li>Add food coloring to coffee creamer or any drink in a cardboard container: This is quite a shock to the system, especially early in the morning. Add a few drops of any color food coloring to the coffee creamer or half and half, and watch your family squirm when their coffee turns red, green, or purple.</li>
<li>Put fake poop on your kids: This sounds &#8230; worse than it is. This classic prank involves Nutella and a question. While on the throne, ask someone in your family to bring you some toilet paper. When you accept the roll, have Nutella or melted chocolate on your hand and smear it on them during the exchange. Makes kids freak out, so beware!</li>
</ul>
Per the <a href="https://www.history.com/articles/april-fools-day">History Channel</a>, the holiday full of hoaxes started in the 16th century — specifically 1563. That&#8217;s when France switched from the Julian calendar to the Gregorian calendar. That switch moved the start of the year from the spring equinox around April 1 to January 1 — and back then it took news just a little bit longer to spread. So those still celebrating the new year at the end of March and the beginning of April became the butt of everyone&#8217;s joke and were called &#8220;April fools.&#8221;
The more you know, right? Let us know what pranks you&#8217;ve pulled off in the comments!

War Secretary Pete Hegseth stepped in on Tuesday, lifting the suspension on the Army aircraft crews who flew past musician Kid Rock&#8217;s Nashville mansion, dubbed the Southern White House.

<a href="https://www.cbsnews.com/news/apache-helicopters-kid-rock-house-crew-suspended/">CBS News</a> reported earlier on Tuesday that the Army aircraft crews had been suspended.
According to the news outlet, the crews have been grounded. An Army spokesperson said in a statement that a full review will look into &#8220;the circumstances surrounding the mission, including compliance with relevant FAA regulations, aviation safety protocol, and approval requirements.&#8221;
&#8220;The Army takes any allegations of unauthorized or unsafe flight operations very seriously and is committed to enforcing standards and holding personnel accountable,&#8221; Maj. Montrell Russell said.
Two helicopters identified as AH-64 Apaches — coming from Fort Campbell, Kentucky — <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/kid-rock-sparks-military-investigation-after-wild-stunt-at-southern-white-house">flew by</a> Kid Rock&#8217;s &#8220;Southern White House,&#8221; where the singer saluted the crew from his pool deck as he stood next to his replica of the Statue of Liberty.
&#8220;This is a level of respect that sh*t for brains Governor of California will never know,&#8221; Kid Rock captioned the <a href="https://x.com/KidRock/status/2037987671671292134?s=20">video</a> he posted of the helicopters that now has more than 10 million views. &#8220;God Bless America and all those who have made the ultimate sacrifice to defend her.&#8221;
Since Army officials launched the &#8220;administrative review&#8221; Monday, Kid Rock has spoken out defending the servicemen he was delighted to see.
“It was pretty cool they stopped right there,” Kid Rock told local Nashville station <a href="https://www.wkrn.com/news/local-news/nashville/kid-rock-helicopter-pilot-crew-suspended/">WKRN</a>. &#8220;I wasn’t expecting any of that, but I thought it was really neat.&#8221;
The musician, whose real name is Robert Ritchie, told WKRN he doesn&#8217;t think the chopper crews will be punished too severely as a result of their actions.
&#8220;I think they’re going to be alright,&#8221; Kid Rock said. &#8220;My buddy is the commander in chief.&#8221;
Kid Rock was obviously talking about his friend, President Donald Trump. The outspoken conservative is a longtime Trump supporter and even sang at the last Republican National Convention.
The pilots of the Army choppers apparently had the green light — at least as far as Kid Rock was concerned — to fly by the mansion. The singer told WKRN he has met with the pilots, who are stationed not too far away from Music City, and told the servicemen they could &#8220;cruise&#8221; by his place anytime.

Attorneys for Tyler Robinson, the man accused of killing Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk, have revealed several witnesses expected to testify for the prosecution ahead of his upcoming trial.
According to <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/us/alleged-charlie-kirk-assassins-defense-team-reveals-who-will-called-testify-court-docs">Fox News</a>, Robinson&#8217;s parents and his romantic transgender-identifying partner, Lance Twiggs, who was seen in a widely circulated <a href="https://nypost.com/2025/09/25/us-news/alleged-charlie-kirk-shooter-tyler-robinsons-trans-lover-lance-twiggs-was-gifted-straight-a-student/">image</a> wearing an outfit common in the furry subculture, are among those listed as potential witnesses.
The case stems from the September 10, 2025, shooting of Kirk at Utah Valley University in Orem.
According to the court documents filed Friday, Robinson&#8217;s defense team said federal investigators have not definitively linked the bullet recovered during Kirk&#8217;s autopsy to the rifle allegedly used in the fatal shooting. The defense said the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives (ATF) was unable to make a match, and additional analysis by the FBI is ongoing.
Forensic experts noted that bullet fragmentation — which the ATF report, cited by the defense, suggests occurred in this case — frequently makes it difficult or impossible to definitively match a bullet to a specific weapon. The defense is seeking to delay the preliminary hearing by at least six months, arguing it has not had sufficient time to review the evidence.
&#8220;Until the defense receives the case files and protocols relating to these analyses, and has them independently evaluated by its expert, they will not be in a position to assess the reliability of this evidence if either the State or the defense decides to proffer it,&#8221; the document stated.
Defense lawyers also said they have received more than 600,000 files from prosecutors, including a hard drive containing 31 hours of audio and roughly 700 hours of video.
&#8220;Discovery in this case is incomplete, voluminous, and the processing of it is complex,&#8221; the document stated.
Prosecutors are seeking the death penalty against Robinson, 22, who has not yet entered a plea.
The next hearing is scheduled for April 17 for a defense motion to ban cameras from the courtroom. Kirk&#8217;s widow, Erika, has opposed that request.
&#8220;There have been cameras all over my friends and family mourning,&#8221; Erika said during an interview with Fox News. &#8220;There have been cameras all over me, analyzing my every move. Analyzing my every smile. My every tear.&#8221;
According to Fox News, the defense plans to argue at the hearing that media coverage has compromised the case.

Kid Rock got to show some love to the troops when he got a surprising flyby from United States Army helicopters over the weekend.

The video has been viewed more than eight million times as of Monday, and it&#8217;s apparently sparking an &#8220;administrative review&#8221; into why the helicopters were hovering around Kid Rock&#8217;s compound.
“The Army is aware of a video circulating online that appears to show AH‑64 Apache helicopters operating in the vicinity of a private residence in the Nashville area,&#8221; Maj. Jonathon Bless, 101st Airborne Division (Air Assault) Public Affairs Officer, told The Daily Wire. &#8220;Army aviators must adhere to strict safety standards, professionalism, and established flight regulations. An administrative review is underway to assess the mission and verify compliance with regulations and airspace requirements. Appropriate action will be taken if any violations are found.&#8221;
In a second video, Kid Rock posted footage of a helicopter facing him as he again cheered on the military personnel inside.
According to <a href="https://www.newschannel5.com/news/newschannel-5-investigates/u-s-army-opens-investigation-into-attack-helicopter-activities-at-kid-rocks-home-no-kings-protest">News Channel 5</a> in Nashville, the helicopters could have been flying over the No Kings protest happening in Nashville, though Maj. Bless added that the 101st Airborne leaders were unaware of any reason the choppers might have done a flyover of the protests, either.
&#8220;Our pilots do regularly fly routes outside the Fort Campbell area,&#8221; the spokesperson said. &#8220;We just don&#8217;t know if it was incidental or if it was deliberate.&#8221;
&#8220;How much did American taxpayers pay for this flyby of Kid Rock&#8217;s house?&#8221; one woman wrote on <a href="https://x.com/TheRealThelmaJ1/status/2038394135556850056?s=20">X</a>.
Kid Rock&#8217;s home is widely known as &#8220;The Southern White House&#8221; as the mansion is modeled after the White House in the nation&#8217;s capital.

Kid Rock Sparks Military Review After Wild Stunt At ‘Southern White House’

Tennessee

U.S.A.

The CEO of Five Guys joked that his motivation behind handing out $1.5 million in employee bonuses was a fear of being murdered.
The restaurant exec Jerry Murrell seemed to be making a dark reference to the murder of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson in December 2024. 
“I didn’t want anybody shooting me in the back or anything after the first day, because we really screwed it up. We had no idea that we were going to get that kind of response,” Murrell, 82, <a href="https://fortune.com/2026/03/25/five-guys-ceo-jerry-murrell-bonus-employees-bogo-burger/">told</a> Fortune of their failed buy-one-get-one promotion that made headlines earlier this year.
In February, Five Guys celebrated its 40-year anniversary with a BOGO promo, which proved so popular that it crashed the app and led to many restaurants shutting their doors early and refusing to honor it. This led to massive backlash on social media. 
The company apologized for the chaos with a <a href="https://www.fiveguys.com/news/blog/were-sorry/">statement</a> posted on its website. “We let you down, and we’re sorry,” it said. “The promotion spread far beyond what we anticipated, and our hardworking crews were placed in a difficult situation. Some locations ran out of product and had to close early. Online and app ordering experienced sporadic issues that prevented some of you from redeeming the offer.”
The apology went on to praise employees, saying this wasn’t their fault. “We also want to recognize the incredible men and women working in our restaurants. While yesterday’s issues were through no fault of their own, they handled it with the same grit and dedication that has defined Five Guys for four decades.”
Five Guys ran the promo again the following month with better preparation for how popular it would be. Murrell, founder of the popular burger joint, said he used his own money to pay out the bonuses.
“I was gonna buy my wife a new fur coat, and I spent it on [the bonus] instead,” Murrell told the outlet. “She still looks at me like I’m stupid. But I thought it was worth it. They worked so hard. They were so overwhelmed.”​
The outlet noted that Five Guys is one of the last major fast-food chains that is still private and family-owned. There are approximately 1,500 locations nationwide, meaning each restaurant received about $1,000.

Golf legend Tiger Woods was charged with Driving Under the Influence — although alcohol was apparently not involved —  after a rollover crash that took place on Friday afternoon in Florida. According to the Martin County Sheriff&#8217;s office, the crash occurred just before 2 p.m. local time on Jupiter Island, where Woods lives.
Sheriff John Budensiek stated that Woods was charged with a DUI and refusal to take a lawful test. Budensiek explained that when officials got to the scene of the crash, Woods was visibly impaired, but not by alcohol — Woods blew a .000. It appeared to authorities that the golfer was under the influence of another substance.
&#8220;They did several tests, he did explain the injuries and surgeries,&#8221; Budensiek said. &#8220;They did in an in-depth roadside test, and he was arrested and taken to Martin County jail.&#8221;
Sheriff Budensiek said that in Florida, Woods won&#8217;t be required to do further testing — so officials won&#8217;t know what caused his visible impairment — but Woods is required to stay behind bars for eight hours following a DUI arrest before he can post bond.
The Sheriff said Jupiter Island police responded to the crash scene on a two-land road on the island when they found Wood&#8217;s Range Rover on the driver&#8217;s side near a large pickup truck carrying machinery.
No one was injured in the crash. The driver of the large truck told investigators Woods was driving at a high rate of speed, thought the exact number isn&#8217;t known, the speed limit on this side beach road is 30 mph.
&#8220;This could have been a lot worse,&#8221; Budensiek said.
Sheriff Budensiek said there was no drugs or alcohol found in Woods&#8217; car, but the golfer was &#8220;lethargic&#8221; from &#8220;what he was intoxicated on.&#8221;
Woods&#8217; two charges are both misdemeanors. While the golf celebrity is in custody, officials said they will keep him away from other inmates because he is considered to be high-profile.
President Trump, who just landed in Miami shortly after the crash, talked about Woods&#8217; state after the incident.
&#8220;I feel so badly. He&#8217;s got some difficulty.&#8221; Trump told reporters on the tarmac. &#8220;There was an accident and that&#8217;s all I know &#8230; Very close friend of mine. He&#8217;s an amazing person, amazing man.&#8221;
Back in 2021, Woods was injured in a rollover crash in Rolling Hills Estates in Southern California. In that incident, authorities said he was driving at least twice the speed limit, which was 45 mph, when his Genesis GV80 SUV hit a tree, causing the car to go airborne, landing on its side.

Woods was seriously injured in that crash and had to be extracted from the vehicle. The injuries included fractures to the upper and lower fibula and tibia in his right leg. According to <a href="https://www.sportingnews.com/us/golf/news/tiger-woods-car-accident-2021-crash/276f018b17268545ae227acc">Sporting News</a>, the pro golfer was first discovered by a neighborhood man who said Woods was unconscious. First responders said that Woods was alert when they arrived at the scene. He was taken to a hospital via ambulance after the accident.
Woods&#8217; troubles on the road began in 2017 when he was arrested in Palm Beach County for suspicion of driving under the influence. The golf champion later pleaded guilty to reckless driving, agreed to pay a fine, and attend DUI school.
This latest crash comes a day after Trump said on Fox News that Woods would not play in the 2026 Masters next month.
&#8220;I love Tiger, but he won’t be there,&#8221; Trump said on The Five. &#8220;He will be there, but he won’t be playing in it.&#8221;
Woods has been dating Trump&#8217;s former daughter-in-law, Vanessa Trump, the ex-wife of Donald Trump Jr., since 2025.

Tiger Woods Charged With DUI, Property Damage After Rollover Crash

Florida

Tiger Woods

The man known online by millions for the new phrase &#8220;looksmaxxing&#8221; — the practice of maximizing appearance — got to pose for a mugshot on Thursday after being arrested on a battery charge in Florida. Clavicular, whose real name is Braden Peters, has long been controversial for the methods he employs to achieve his physique, but his run in with the law in Fort Lauderdale is not a good look.
The battery charge stemmed from a case out of Osceola County, Florida, just south of Orlando. Osceola deputies were able to team up with Fort Lauderdale police to locate Peters and make the arrest. The warrant was for misdemeanor battery, court documents stated. The TikTok star&#8217;s bond was set at $1,000, and he has since bonded out.

According to <a href="https://www.nbcmiami.com/news/local/influencer-clavicular-arrested-on-battery-charge-in-fort-lauderdale-records-show/3787112/">NBC Miami</a>, Osceola County Sheriff&#8217;s Office officials said Peters and another woman — identified as 24-year-old Violet Marie Lentz — are accused of participating in the battery of a 19-year-old girl at a rental home near Kissimmee, Florida.
The 19-year-old was allegedly battered by Lentz in the home that was rented by Peters, and detectives have asserted that it was Peters who instigated the fight and then posted the incident on social media.
In addition to this case, the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission is looking into a video circulating that appears to show Peters shooting an alligator in the Everglades.
A FWC spokesperson sent this statement to The Daily Wire:
&#8220;The FWC is aware of a video depicting individuals in the Everglades on an airboat who appear to be discharging firearms at an alligator. FWC officers are continuing to look into the incident and will provide additional information when available. To report wildlife violations, call the Wildlife Alert Hotline at 888-404-3922.&#8221;

Peters was with a group of guys on an airboat in the Everglades, where they were live-streaming. During the stream, the boat stopped by what looked like a dead alligator, and Peters and another man opened fire. The two fired multiple shots at the dead gator in the video, which was obtained by TMZ. His streaming account appears to have been taken down.
The alligator video, while being looked at by the FWC, is not related to the arrest by Fort Lauderdale Police.
Peters has created quite the online image for himself under the name &#8220;Clavicular.&#8221; The 20-year-old makes content that revolves around his physical appearance. He will sometimes showcase the extreme methods he uses to appear more attractive, which he began employing at 14 years old. In an interview with Michael Knowles in late 2025, Peters claimed that he used to &#8220;smash his face with a hammer&#8221; to help improve his bone structure. Since sharing his &#8220;looksmaxxing&#8221; lifestyle, he has built a following of hundreds of thousands on social media and has even walked runways in fashion shows.

The smell of cracker jacks fills the air and the sound of bats cracking can be heard all across the United States, because it is Opening Day for America&#8217;s Pastime. Major League Baseball is kicking off the season in patriotic fashion with a league-wide campaign to celebrate 250 years of the United States.
All season, the Major League Baseball will recognize this milestone by accumulating 250,000 collective volunteer hours in 2026 across all 30 MLB clubs and other extensions of the league as part of the &#8220;MLB Together&#8221; initiative.
MLB is a partner of America250, the official nonpartisan organization established by Congress to lead the nation’s 250th anniversary commemoration.
&#8220;MLB Together represents the very best of what our sport means to our fans and our communities,&#8221; MLB Commissioner Rob Manfred said. &#8220;Baseball’s ability to bring people together through common values and causes has placed the game in a unique stature within our culture. We look forward to working with our Clubs, partners, and fans in making meaningful changes in our society through the MLB Together platform.&#8221;
250,000 hours is a challenge, but former players got a start earlier in March by participating in a beach cleanup in Miami ahead of the World Baseball Classic final. Volunteers joined players — including Michael Bourn and Scott Kazmir — removed debris and trash from the shoreline of Miami Beach.
It&#8217;s fitting that baseball is playing a role in celebrating America&#8217;s 250th birthday since the sport has been part of the nation&#8217;s culture since the 1800s. In addition to logging the 250,000 volunteer hours across the league, teams will display a &#8220;USA 250&#8221; on their jerseys through the July 4th games — and during the MLB All-Star Game, which takes place in America&#8217;s birthplace, Philadelphia.
The midsummer event returns to Philly, where the Declaration of Independence was signed 250 years ago. This year&#8217;s game is the first time Citizens Bank Park will host the event since opening in 2004. The game has been held in Philadelphia four times in the past, one of which was held at Veterans Stadium for the nation&#8217;s Bicentennial in 1976.
Opening Day 2026 features some powerhouse pitching matchups with Pirates ace Paul Skenes facing off against Mets slinger Freddy Peralta.

Other Thursday games to watch include the World Champion Dodgers beginning their journey toward a three-peat when they take on the Diamondbacks. The Mariners and Guardians compete in a battle of the 2025 division winners in Seattle.
The 162-game season leaves little time for players to have free time, but the MLB&#8217;s commitment to celebrating America will be felt every time players and coaches log their volunteer hours to hit the overall volunteer goal.
Fans can get involved too by <a href="https://www.mlb.com/mlb-together/america-250">signing up</a> to volunteer alongside their favorite players.

In a bombshell interview with Hoda Kotb Thursday on the <a href="https://www.today.com/news/savannah-guthrie-nancy-guthrie-moment-mom-missing-rcna265248">Today Show</a>, Savannah Guthrie took us through the nightmare she&#8217;s been living for the last 54 days since her 84-year-old mother, Nancy Guthrie, was kidnapped from her bed in the middle of the night.
Savannah said her mother was abducted in her pajamas, with no shoes, leaving behind everything. After Savannah&#8217;s sister called 911 on February 1, the Today Show host said it didn&#8217;t take long for the siblings to know something was very wrong.
&#8220;My brother, you know, he spent his career in the military and worked in intelligence and is a fighter pilot and is brilliant,&#8221; Savannah said. &#8220;He saw very clearly right away what this was. Even on the phone when I called him, he knew. And he said I think she&#8217;s been kidnapped for ransom.&#8221;
It&#8217;s a theory the family has held on to throughout the ongoing investigation. Ransom notes flooded news outlets and other avenues following Nancy&#8217;s mysterious disappearance. Savannah and her siblings, Annie and Cameron, addressed two notes that specifically demanded payment in Bitcoin.
&#8220;I believe the two notes that we responded to, I tend to believe those are real,&#8221; Savannah said.
Savannah admits she knows it is a possibility because of her public prominence. She could be the reason her mother was targeted to make a quick buck, but it&#8217;s a thought she can barely say out loud. The family remains uncertain of a motive, seven weeks in.
&#8220;It&#8217;s too much to bear to think I brought this to her bedside, that it&#8217;s because of me,&#8221; Savannah told her former co-anchor. &#8220;If it is me &#8230; I&#8217;m so sorry.&#8221;
The family was the center of scrutiny early on in the investigation, with rumors swirling that the kidnapping could have been an inside job. Savannah finally addressed those rumors, describing how it affected her already grieving family.
&#8220;It piles pain upon pain. There are no words,&#8221; Savannah said. &#8220;I don&#8217;t understand, and I&#8217;ll never understand. No one took better care of my mom than my sister and brother-in-law. No one protected my mom more than my brother. We love her. She is our shining light, our matriarch, she&#8217;s all we have.&#8221;
The rumors started to quiet down after the FBI, with the help of Google, released <a href="https://youtube.com/shorts/phuBCMSiXuo?si=mquv4c06TNPkqhil">images</a> of an armed, masked man with a backpack on Nancy&#8217;s front steps. The images are chilling, but Savannah said she&#8217;s thankful the public can see who was at her mom&#8217;s door so the focus can be on finding out who it is.
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet">
Savannah Guthrie opened up to Hoda Kotb about her reaction to seeing footage of an armed and masked person outside of mom Nancy Guthrie’s home on the night she disappeared. <a href="https://t.co/CI7WhyJfw7">https://t.co/CI7WhyJfw7</a>

&#8220;I mean, it&#8217;s just absolutely terrifying, it&#8217;s totally terrifying,&#8221; Savannah said of the images. &#8220;And I can&#8217;t imagine that&#8217;s who she saw standing over her bed. I can&#8217;t. That&#8217;s too much.&#8221;
The agony and desperation for answers were painted all over the news anchor&#8217;s face. While Savannah acknowledged the tireless work investigators are doing, she is again asking for answers.
&#8220;We cannot be at peace without knowing, and someone can do the right thing. It is never too late to do the right thing, and our hearts are focused on that.&#8221;
The second part of the two-part interview airs Friday on the Today Show.
