What Went Down?
Influencer Jack Doherty’s latest viral moment didn’t come from a prank, a dare, or a livestream stunt — it came from a jail booking camera in Miami-Dade County.
On the morning of Saturday, November 15, 2025, the 22‑year‑old content creator was arrested in Florida and booked into the Miami-Dade County jail system. According to public county records cited by People, officers took Doherty into custody at 8:48 a.m. on multiple drug-related charges, along with resisting arrest.
Authorities say Doherty was found in possession of two different controlled substances:
- Amphetamine – leading to a charge of possession of a controlled substance
- 20 grams or less of cannabis – a separate possession charge under Florida law
On top of the drug counts, Doherty was also charged with resisting arrest, indicating that officers allege he did not comply when they attempted to detain him. Specifics of the interaction with law enforcement — such as what prompted the stop or how the encounter escalated — have not yet been detailed publicly.
What makes this booking stand out is who Jack Doherty is online. The Long Island–born influencer has built a massive following — more than 28 million combined followers across YouTube, TikTok, and Instagram — by posting high-energy stunt and prank content, often pushing the limits of what’s socially acceptable (and sometimes what’s safe). His videos frequently involve public dares, risky behavior, and real-time livestreams where thousands watch him in the moment.
In the hours before this arrest, Doherty was still in full influencer mode. He posted on his Instagram Stories from a yacht in Miami, linking out to livestreams on the Parti app so fans could watch along in real time. Those posts show him apparently enjoying the South Florida lifestyle, with no hint of the legal trouble that was about to follow.
By later that morning, he was in a very different setting: standing in front of a booking camera at Miami Dade County Corrections and Rehabilitation, where his mugshot was taken. In the image, released by authorities, Doherty appears unsmiling, a stark contrast to the over-the-top persona his followers know from his prank content.
People reports that his bond was set at $3,500, and that amount has since been posted according to public records, meaning he was able to secure his release pending further legal proceedings. As of the time of the report, a representative for Doherty had not responded to requests for comment, and no public statement from the influencer addressing the arrest has been widely reported.
This isn’t the first time Doherty’s high-risk behavior has crossed into dangerous territory. In October 2024, he made headlines for crashing his $200,000 McLaren sports while livestreaming. Video of that incident showed him glancing down at his phone in heavy rain before losing control. The car skidded across multiple lanes and slammed into a metal barrier — all while more than 185,000 viewers watched live on his Kick stream before it was later deleted. Though that crash didn’t result in criminal charges of this type, it added to a pattern of online risk-taking with very real-world consequences.
Now, instead of a viral prank, Doherty is facing formal drug charges and a resisting arrest count in Florida — and the mugshot from Miami-Dade marks one of the most serious turns yet in the career of a creator whose brand was built on pushing boundaries.
