Fort Lauderdale, FL – YouTuber Jack Doherty is facing a domestic battery charge following an alleged dispute at a Fort Lauderdale residence.<\/p>\n
Doherty, 22, was arrested Friday after officers responded to a home in the 1400 block of Southwest Fifth Court, according to Fort Lauderdale police and Broward County records.<\/p>\n
Officers arrived at approximately 11:56 a.m. after receiving a report of a domestic disturbance. <\/p>\n
Police said Doherty and an unidentified woman allegedly became involved in a physical dispute inside the residence.<\/p>\n
Authorities reported that the woman was not injured. <\/p>\n
Police have not released her name or provided information about her relationship with Doherty.<\/p>\n
Doherty was taken into custody on a misdemeanor domestic battery charge and booked into the Broward County Main Jail.<\/p>\n
During a court appearance, a magistrate found probable cause and set Doherty\u2019s bond at $1,000. <\/p>\n
The judge also ordered him to have no contact with the alleged victim. Court records indicate that he retained an attorney.<\/p>\n
The charge is an allegation, and Doherty has not been convicted in the case.<\/p>\n
A person close to Doherty told TMZ that he acted in self-defense. Police have not confirmed that account.<\/p>\n
Doherty has nearly 15 million YouTube subscribers and is known for publishing prank videos and stunts.<\/p>\n
Miami Beach police previously arrested Doherty in November 2025 after officers allegedly found him recording content in a roadway and refusing commands to move.<\/p>\n
Officers reported finding part of a pill consistent with amphetamine and approximately four grams of suspected marijuana.<\/p>\n
He faced drug possession and resisting charges, which were later dismissed after he completed a pretrial diversion program.<\/p>\n
