YouTube star arrested for domestic violence in Florida

Social media personality Jack Doherty has been arrested in Florida once more, with authorities saying the latest case involves an allegation of domestic violence.

Doherty, 22, is facing a misdemeanor domestic battery charge after police said he was involved in a physical confrontation with a woman in Fort Lauderdale on Friday.

Fort Lauderdale police told The Post that officers were called to a “domestic dispute” shortly before noon in the city’s Riverside Park neighborhood, where they later took Doherty into custody.

According to investigators’ preliminary account, Doherty and an unidentified female victim became involved in a physical dispute inside a home.

Police said the woman, whose name has not been released, did not suffer injuries during the incident.

Following the response, Doherty was arrested and booked at the Broward County Main Jail, authorities said.

In his newest booking photo, the 22-year-old influencer appears to have a cut on his cheek, though it remains unclear whether the mark is connected to the alleged dispute.

Further details about the reported domestic incident have not been made public, but a source close to Doherty told TMZ that he was acting in self-defense.

The influencer, who has over 15 million subscribers on YouTube alone, is no stranger to scandal.

Doherty has been slapped with a slew of traffic infractions and misdemeanors within the Miami area between 2022 and 2026, Broward County online records show. 

He was booked into the Miami-Dade County Jail in November 2025 on drug possession and resisting arrest charges.

Moments before he was arrested, Doherty challenged cops to a duel while standing in the middle of a Miami street. 

“You think you’re funny? If you’re gonna be funny, get out of the f–king street. I don’t know who the f–k you think you are, bro,” a Miami Beach police officer said to the 22-year-old, according to a now-deleted TikTok video.

“All right, we challenge you to a duel,” Doherty says in a loud voice to a group of roughly half a dozen police officers, footage showed.

Doherty was repeatedly warned by police to get off the sidewalk before he was ultimately cuffed.

At the time of arrest, Doherty was carrying amphetamine and marijuana. 

The social media star described his November 2025 arrest as the worst day of his life, where he spent hours in multiple holding cells before being released on $3,500 bail, according to TMZ.

Doherty boasts over 28 million followers across all his social media platforms and is known for his viral prank videos.

He infamously totaled his $200,000 McLaren supercar while reportedly texting and driving in the rain during a livestream in October 2024.

During the livestream on the platform, Kick, the online star was seen looking down at his phone as he drove along a slippery Miami highway. 

Seconds later, he lost control of his sports car and screamed as he slid across the right lane and smashed into a guardrail.

“All my money’s gone,” Doherty said after the wreck. 

The internet personality was banned from Kick after the collision.
