Popular YouTuber Jack Doherty, known for his massive following of over 15 million subscribers, found himself in legal trouble after being arrested in Miami Beach, Florida. The incident occurred on Saturday, November 15, at 8:48 a.m. local time, marking a significant downfall for the internet personality.
The Arrest Details and Charges
According to police reports, Doherty was booked on multiple serious charges including drug possession, resisting arrest, and creating a safety risk on a busy street. The Miami Beach Police Department confirmed that the arrest took place in the 700 block of Washington Avenue while officers were conducting routine patrols in the area.
People Magazine reported that the controlled substance in Doherty's possession included amphetamine and 20 grams or less of cannabis. The situation escalated when Doherty walked into the street allegedly to film content, thereby blocking traffic on the busy road. Police officials stated that they warned him multiple times to step aside, but he reportedly refused, saying he would only move "once I'm done with this bet."
Relationship Drama Resurfaces
The arrest has brought Doherty's past relationship with McKinley Richardson back into public discussion. The couple began dating in early 2023 and surprised fans by getting married in Las Vegas in November 2024. Their wedding was notably livestreamed by Doherty himself, but the marriage proved short-lived as they split just months later with no signs of reconciliation.
McKinley Richardson recently opened up about their breakup during various interviews, revealing shocking details about their marriage. She disclosed that Doherty presented her with an unusual prenuptial agreement that stated, "shawty gets absolutely nothing when I divorce her, even if I cheat." The agreement reportedly included clauses that if she ever cheated, she would owe him $10 million, and he would take 100 percent of her OnlyFans earnings even after divorce.
Wedding Controversy and Aftermath
In a podcast appearance with Camilla Araujo on October 11, 2025, Richardson shared more disturbing details about their wedding ceremony. She claimed that Doherty made her father read out what she described as "disgusting" vows during the ceremony. The moment was reportedly so upsetting that her father cried, adding another layer of controversy to their already troubled relationship.
The Miami Beach Police Department issued a strong statement following Doherty's arrest, emphasizing their commitment to public safety. They declared they would continue to take action against any behavior that endangers people, "regardless of celebrity status." This stance highlights the serious nature of the charges against the popular content creator.
As the legal proceedings continue and more details emerge about both his arrest and personal life, fans and critics alike are watching closely to see how this situation will impact Doherty's career and public image.
