YouTuber Jack Doherty has been arrested in Miami on drug possession and other related offences, according to police documents released on Saturday.
Police said the 22-year-old was filming content in the middle of the road while trying to engage officers, which blocked traffic. Officers apprehended him shortly after.
According to the arrest report, police found “half of an orange oval-shaped pill with 3 imprinted on it, consistent with a Schedule II amphetamine,” along with three “suspected cannabis cigarettes.”
Doherty was taken into custody outside a smoke shop and later booked into the Turner Guilford Knight detention center. He faces charges including felony possession of a controlled substance, possession of marijuana under 20 grams, and resisting an officer without violence.
TMZ reported that his bail was set at 3,500 dollars but had not yet been posted.
Doherty is known for his prank-style videos and stunts that often involve provoking strangers. He has more than 15 million subscribers on YouTube, over 10 million followers on TikTok and more than 2.8 million followers on Instagram.
His long history of controversies includes a lawsuit from a 2023 Halloween party incident, where his bodyguard allegedly assaulted a guest, and a 2024 crash on Florida’s Turnpike during a live stream. In early 2025, he broke his collarbone during a biking stunt, which he called his “worst accident yet.”
