This isn’t the first time Doherty has been in trouble with the law in South Florida.<\/p>\n
Doherty was previously arrested in Miami Beach<\/a> on Nov. 15, 2025.<\/p>\n According to Miami Beach Police, officers were conducting a high-visibility enforcement detail in the 700 block of Washington Avenue when they noticed a group of people enter the roadway.<\/p>\n An arrest report said one of the people, identified as Doherty, was in the middle of the roadway to record video content, which created a safety hazard for drivers and himself.<\/p>\n As Doherty remained on the road, officers told him to move out of the roadway, but he refused, the report said.<\/p>\n After warning Doherty that he would be arrested if he didn’t follow the officer’s instructions, Doherty replied “Once I, done with this bet,” the report said.<\/p>\n Doherty, the report said, was then taken away from the roadway, and he continued to disobey officers’ commands, which led to his arrest.<\/p>\n During a search, officers found half of an oval-shaped pill that had a “3” imprinted on it, which was consistent with amphetamine, the report said. Officers also found what appeared to be three hand-rolled cannabis cigarettes in a black plastic container.<\/p>\n Body camera footage captured officers placing Doherty under arrest.<\/p>\n After paying his bond, Doherty walked out of jail Saturday night and shared his side of the story with NBC6.<\/p>\n \u201cThat was the worst 24-hours ever, I wish I did something crazier to make it worth it,\u201d Doherty said.<\/p>\n Doherty claims he took too long to cross the road, and that’s why police arrested him.<\/p>\n \u201cI think it was a little excessive, I’m not going to lie,\u201d Doherty said. \u201cThere was no traffic; it was three in the morning. I think they just wanted to lock me up, but fair enough, learned my lesson.\u201d<\/p>\n Doherty later got on social media outside of the jail to post videos to his followers, but he said he regrets how Saturday morning went.<\/p>\n \u201cFor sure, I would have definitely done it differently,\u201d Doherty said.<\/p>\n Doherty is no stranger to South Florida.<\/p>\n In June 2024, Davie Police responded to a swatting call at Doherty’s Southwest Ranches home.<\/a><\/p>\n Body camera footage captured officers arriving at the front of the home and encountering Doherty’s head of security inside the gate, and they seemed to already know that the call was bogus.<\/p>\n According to an incident report, an officer had already seen that Doherty was streaming on Kick.com and was safe.<\/p>\n
