YouTuber Jack Doherty Arrested on Domestic Battery
The News
YouTube star Jack Doherty, 22, was arrested Friday on a misdemeanor domestic battery charge in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, after police said he and a woman fought inside a residence.
Fort Lauderdale police said officers responded to a reported "domestic dispute" just before noon in the city's Riverside Park neighborhood, on the 1400 block of Southwest Fifth Court.
Initial information showed Doherty and "a female victim got into a physical dispute inside a residence," police said. The woman, who has not been identified, was not injured.
Doherty was booked into the Broward County Main Jail. He was still being held with no listed bond as of Friday evening, online records show.
Timeline
Doherty totals a $200,000 McLaren, reportedly while texting and driving in the rain during a livestream on Kick. "All my money's gone," he says after the wreck. He is banned from the platform.
Miami Beach police arrest Doherty on drug possession and resisting arrest charges. Video showed him challenging a group of officers to "a duel" in the middle of a street moments before he was cuffed. He was carrying amphetamine and marijuana at the time of the arrest, and was released on $3,500 bail. Miami-Dade court records show he later entered a deferred prosecution program.

Doherty's mugshot is released. He is held at the Broward County Main Jail with no listed bond.
Reactions
Fort Lauderdale police, in a statement to the New York Post, described the incident as a physical dispute between Doherty and a female victim inside a residence and said the woman was uninjured.
A source close to Doherty told TMZ that he acted in self-defense. Specific details of what happened inside the home remain unclear.
In his booking photo, Doherty appears to have a cut on his cheek, the New York Post reported. It is not clear whether the injury came from the dispute.
What's Next
Doherty faces a misdemeanor domestic battery charge in Broward County, where prosecutors will decide whether to press the case forward. He was still in custody with no bond listed Friday night.
His prior Florida case ended in a deferred prosecution program rather than a conviction — an outcome that could weigh on how the new charge is handled.
More
Doherty is one of the biggest prank creators on the internet, with more than 15 million subscribers on YouTube and more than 28 million followers across his social platforms.
He is also a repeat presence in South Florida court files: Broward County online records show a string of traffic infractions and misdemeanors in the Miami area between 2022 and 2026.
