You Tube star Jack Doherty with his new Lamborghini in 2023
A popular YouTube star was arrested on drug charges while trying to film content in the middle of a busy Miami Beach street early Saturday morning, police said.
Plantation resident Jack Doherty, 22 was on the 700 block of Washington Avenue around 3:15 a.m. when officers saw Doherty and a group of people attempting to engage officers as part of video content. Pranks are a recurring theme in his social videos. With Doherty’s 2,000 YouTube videos, he’s amassed 15 million subscribers.
Per police records, Doherty ignored officers’ commands to get out of the street. At one point, Doherty’s associates asked him to listen to police, but cops say he refused.
When police detained Doherty, they discovered he was carrying an amphetamine pill and a black container holding three cannabis cigarettes that altogether weighed four grams.
Doherty was arrested and transported to a Miami Beach Police jail. He faces charges for possession of controlled substances and resisting an officer with violence.
Later Saturday night, Doherty posted a TikTok video showing him bonding out of jail with the caption “I got arrested last night and now I’m free,” CBS News Miami reported.
Contact information regarding Jack Doherty’s representation was not immediately available.
