YouTube star Jack Doherty arrested on misdemeanor domestic battery charge in Fort Lauderdale

Fort Lauderdale officers responded to a domestic dispute in the Riverside Park neighborhood on Friday morning and detained 22-year-old Jack Doherty, a prominent social-media personality. He faces a misdemeanor domestic battery charge after an altercation with an unidentified woman inside a home; police noted the woman was not injured. After being taken to the Broward County Main Jail, Doherty was discovered to have amphetamine and marijuana in his possession.

While details of the confrontation remain limited, a close source alleges Doherty acted in self-defense. This arrest adds to a series of citations and misdemeanors the influencer has accumulated since 2022, including a 2025 drug possession and resisting arrest case in Miami-Dade County. Doherty, who boasts over 15 million YouTube subscribers and 28 million followers across platforms, is known for viral prank videos and has previously drawn police ire for confrontational behavior.
