The chaos around internet creators never sleeps, and Jack Doherty just added another chapter to his growing list of headline moments after a wild night in Miami Beach.
YouTube star Jack Doherty found himself in handcuffs after a late night incident on Miami Beach. According to the police report, officers approached the twenty-two-year-old creator after he was seen standing in the middle of the road while filming content. When they told him to move, he refused and kept recording. Moments later, officers detained him and searched his pockets.
Inside, they found half of an orange pill marked with the number 3, believed to be amphetamine, along with several grams of cannabis rolled into cigarettes. He was charged with possession of controlled substances, resisting an officer without violence, and possession of marijuana under twenty grams. His bond for Saturday's charges was set at $3,500, the amount has since been submitted, and he is walking free again, as seen on his Instagram.

Who is Jack Doherty?
Doherty is known for high energy challenge videos, "pranks" and risky stunts that often push the limits of what is acceptable in public spaces. His combined audience across YouTube, TikTok, and Instagram reaches more than twenty-eight million followers, making him one of the most recognizable young creators online. His content frequently blurs the line between shock value and entertainment, which is partly why this arrest has drawn so much attention.
Why the Arrest is Blowing Up
This is not the first time Doherty has gone viral for the wrong reasons. From public confrontations, controversial livestreams, to a widely shared crash involving his two hundred thousand dollar McLaren, he has built a reputation for chaotic behavior. His audience is split between excitement and concern, while you could argue that the chase for views is getting out of control.
Doherty’s arrest could be a moment that might reshape his career. It is a reminder that the grind for viral content has real consequences, and this time the fallout is more serious than a prank gone wrong. Whether this becomes a turning point or just another headline in his long list of stunts will depend on what he does next.
