YouTuber Jack Doherty arrested in Miami on drug possession charges
YouTuber Jack Doherty was arrested on drug possession and other charges in the Miami area early Saturday morning, police said.
The influencer was filming video content while attempting to interact with police officers in the middle of the road, blocking traffic, according to arrest documents published by US media.
He was then apprehended, before a police search found “half of an orange oval-shaped pill with 3 printed on it, consistent with a Schedule II amphetamine” and three “suspected cannabis cigarettes”.
The 22-year-old is known for filming provocative videos involving pranks, with titles like “I Got Kicked Off a Cruise” and “I Collided With a Police Car.”
He is also known for videos in which he provokes strangers in the street, before hiding behind his bodyguard.
He has over 15 million subscribers on YouTube, over 10 million followers on TikTok, and over 2.8 million followers on Instagram.
It is not known whether Mr. Doherty has an attorney. A representative listed on his social media channels did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
