YouTuber Jack Doherty was arrested on suspicion of domestic violence in Florida less than a year after being cited for drug possession.
Doherty, 22, was taken into custody in Fort Lauderdale’s Riverside Park neighborhood on Friday, September 4, following an alleged “domestic dispute” with an unnamed woman, local police told 10 News.
According to authorities, police arrived at an address on the 1400 block of Southwest Fifth Court around noon on Friday and subsequently observed that Doherty “and a female victim got into a physical dispute inside a residence.” The woman was physically uninjured, per law enforcement.
As of Saturday, September 5, Doherty was being held on misdemeanor domestic battery charge at Broward Main Jail on a $1,000 bond. He has been ordered not to have any contact with the alleged victim.
A source close to Doherty claimed to TMZ that the influencer allegedly acted in self-defense.
Us has reached out to Doherty for comment.
The alleged domestic violence incident occurred less than a year after Doherty was arrested in South Florida in November 2025. He was booked on charges of possession of a controlled substance (amphetamine), possession of 20 grams or less of cannabis and resisting arrest, a misdemeanor.
After posting a $3,500 bond, Doherty — who rose to fame by posting extreme and confrontational prank videos — was released from custody and later posted a video of the events that allegedly led up to his arrest.
In the footage, men wearing police uniforms were seen handcuffing Doherty as the influencer was warned by a voice off-camera, “You’re about to go to jail.”
“You think you’re funny? If you’re gonna be funny, get out of the f***ing street. I don’t know who the f*** you think you are, bro,” the uniformed man told the influencer.
Doherty insisted that he was simply “trying to walk up the street.”
“All you had to do was get on the f***ing sidewalk, that’s it,” he was then told by one of the uniformed men.
Another account shared a longer version of the clip where Doherty appeared to challenge one of the arresting officers to a “duel.”
The uniformed man repeatedly instructed Doherty to “go on the sidewalk,” to which the YouTuber replied, “Yes, sir, after we duel.”
He later opened up to another content creator about “the whole process” while wearing a T-shirt emblazoned with his mugshot. Doherty claimed he was “chilling for another five-plus hours” in jail after taking his mugshot.
“I was like damn, I’m flying to Dubai in my mind right now,” said in the video.
In that same video, Doherty joked that he “hogged” the phone while he was in police custody.
Doherty’s cannabis charge was dropped when he agreed to attend a Miami-Dade County Felony Drug Pre-Trial Diversion Program earlier this year, per Page Six. The Florida State Attorney’s Office reportedly cancelled plans for a May 2026 trial for the remaining charges and later issued him a final discharge certificate once Doherty completed the pretrial diversion program in March.
