YouTuber Jack Doherty arrested in Miami on drug charges after traffic disruption
Miami police arrested social media influencer Jack Doherty early Saturday after he allegedly blocked traffic while filming content, leading to drug possession charges, authorities confirmed.
Incident details
According to arrest documents cited by US media, Doherty, 22, was filming in the middle of a road when officers intervened. A subsequent search revealed half an orange oval pill marked with "3"-identified as a Schedule II amphetamine-and three suspected cannabis cigarettes.
Background
Doherty's online persona centers on provocative pranks and confrontational street interactions, often shielded by a bodyguard. His videos, with titles like "I got kicked off a cruise" and "I crashed into a cop car", have amassed over 15 million YouTube subscribers, 10 million TikTok followers, and 2.8 million on Instagram.
Legal status
It remains unclear whether Doherty has retained legal representation. A request for comment sent to a listed social media representative went unanswered.
