 YouTuber Jack Doherty arrested in Miami on drug charges

YouTube creator Jack Doherty was arrested Saturday in Miami, Florida, on drug-related charges, according to the Miami Beach Police Department.

Authorities said the 22-year-old blocked traffic on Washington Avenue around 3:12 a.m. while filming content, creating a “dangerous situation.” Police say Doherty refused orders to leave the roadway, reportedly shouting, “once I’m done with this bet,” before being taken into custody.

He faces charges of possession of a controlled substance, possession of marijuana, and resisting an officer without violence. Arrest records indicate he was found with amphetamine.

Doherty, known for prank and stunt videos, has over 15 million subscribers on YouTube, more than 10 million followers on TikTok, and over 3 million followers on Instagram. Earlier Saturday, he posted videos on a yacht in Miami and livestreamed his night on the app Parti.

His bond was set at $3,500, and it is unclear if he has secured legal representation.
