URGENT UPDATE: YouTube sensation Jack Doherty was arrested early this morning on Miami Beach for allegedly obstructing traffic while filming a video, prompting immediate police intervention. The incident occurred around 2:00 AM when Doherty, 22, entered the roadway, drawing attention from law enforcement concerned for public safety.
According to reports from NBC Miami, police instructed Doherty to vacate the street, but he initially refused, insisting he would comply “once I’m done with this bet.” This defiance led to his arrest, where he faced multiple charges, including possession of amphetamine, possession of marijuana, and resisting an officer without violence.
