Jack Doherty arrested in Miami Beach, FL, while filming video
YouTuber Jack Doherty arrested in Miami Beach for blocking traffic while filming and charged with drug possession.
A popular YouTuber known for prank and stunt videos was arrested in Miami after he was found disrupting traffic to film content for his social media channel, police said.
Jack Doherty, 22, was taken into custody around 3:12 a.m. on Saturday, Nov. 15, after he intentionally stepped into traffic and blocked the roadway, according to a news release from the Miami Beach Police Department.
“Despite multiple lawful commands to clear the roadway, Doherty refused to comply, responding, ‘Once I’m done with this bet!’” police said in the post.
Body camera footage obtained by USA TODAY showed officers handcuffing Doherty on a palm-tree-lined street while other young people filmed.
The officers went through Doherty’s pockets and pulled out what they believed was an amphetamine and cannabis.
Jack Doherty facing several charges
Doherty, who has more than 15 million YouTube followers and more than 10 million TikTok followers, was charged with possession of a controlled substance, possession of 20 grams or less of marijuana, and resisting an officer without violence.
According to local reports, Doherty was released on bond the night of his arrest. Speaking to NBC 6, the content creator said, “That was the worst 24 hours ever,” adding that the incident happened because he took too long to cross the street.
“There was no traffic. It was three in the morning,” he told the outlet. “I think they just wanted to lock me up, but fair enough, learned my lesson.”
Doherty posted videos online about his arrest
Doherty posted a video on social media Nov. 16, showing he was released from jail.
In the video, Doherty poses with people he said he met in jail.
He has also made several follow-up videos poking fun at his arrest, including one where he is standing behind a black railing using the song “Locked Up” by Akon.
An arraignment hearing, or the initial court appearance where Doherty will enter a plea, is scheduled for Jan. 14, 2026.
“MBPD remains committed to maintaining public safety and order throughout the city,” police said in the news release.
“Our officers will continue to take proactive enforcement action against behavior that endangers motorists, residents, or visitors—and will hold all individuals accountable under the law, regardless of their celebrity status.”
USA TODAY reached out to representatives for Doherty on Nov. 16, but did not receive an immediate response.

“The past few months of my life have been hectic, so many changes and moving pieces, but thanks to [Good Greek Moving], the one thing that wasn’t stressful at all was my recent move,” she captioned a February 2 Instagram Reel. “I truly didn’t lift a finger. They were meticulous, professional, and left the space spotless when they finished.”

“They treated every piece with so much care, especially my fine art,” she said. “Everything was delicately wrapped, protected, packed perfectly… The move itself was seamless. Not only did they transport everything safely, they unpacked it all, placed things exactly where they belonged, and made the space feel put together right away.”
Toward the end of the clip, fans got a peek at Lisa’s new home, which featured recessed lighting, tile floors, an open-concept kitchen, and extensive windows that maximized the natural light. The video also included cameos by Lisa’s 10-year-old son, Logan, and Jody Glidden, a tech entrepreneur she began dating in 2022.

Lisa has not shared any more details about her new home, which she’ll share with Logan and her 6-year-old daughter, Elle. The Toronto native coparents the children with Lenny Hochstein, a Miami-based plastic surgeon, whom she divorced in 2024.

“I know that probably sounds crazy for most of America/ When I was growing up in Canada you could BUY a house for that monthly rental price,” Jody wrote, as reported by the outlet. “But like NYC, Miami rental prices are out of control… Lisa looked at over 30 places and was about to choose a place over 30 minutes south of her kids’ dad’s and my place (kind of neighbors) and 60 minutes away from their school. I intervened.
“I don’t want to be in the car all the time or have them in the car all day long,” he added. “And it’s temporary since she’s supposed to have a house coming.”

U..S. crushes institutional crypto, Asia rules trading ahead of Consensus Miami
The global crypto industry is no longer moving in one direction. It is splitting into layers, with Asia leading in day-to-day usage while the U.S. strengthens its position as the institutional and regulatory hub.
A new Global Digital Asset Adoption Index for Consensus Miami from CoinDesk Research shows Asia ranking first in exchange trading volumes, stablecoin transaction flows, and crypto ownership rates, underscoring how much of the sector’s real activity is concentrated outside North America.
At the same time, the U.S. continues to dominate in exchange-traded products, custody infrastructure, and regulatory clarity, positioning it as the primary venue for compliant capital formation and large-scale institutional participation.
The report argues that this divide does not signal a loss of influence for Washington so much as a structural shift in how crypto markets function.
Liquidity, compliance, and user behavior are increasingly decoupled rather than converging in a single jurisdiction. Asia’s strength lies in embedded financial integration and retail participation, while North America’s advantage comes from product depth, licensing frameworks, and access to traditional financial markets.
Stablecoins sit at the center of this split. In developed markets they remain heavily tied to trading and collateral use, but in emerging economies, they are increasingly used for remittances, cross-border commerce, and inflation hedging. According to the index, this utility-driven demand is helping push transaction growth even when price momentum slows.
Latin America illustrates a third path. In several economies, dollar-pegged stablecoins are used less for speculation and more for remittances, cross-border commerce, and inflation hedging, creating consistent transaction demand even during market downturns.
The result is a multipolar digital asset market in which leadership depends less on geography and more on the layer of the crypto stack under consideration.

Impacts of allowing Haitians to keep Temporary Protected Status
Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for hundreds of thousands of Haitians was set to expire at midnight tonight, until a federal judge in Washington, D.C. blocked it Monday evening.
Leaders in Florida said no place would have been impacted more than Miami-Dade County where so many Haitians live and work.
Nancy Mateyer Bowen is the Vice Mayor of Coral Springs and the Florida Democratic Party. She’s a proud Haitian-American, but she said she knows Haiti is not a place people can return to right now.
“Haiti is facing some of the most dangerous conditions in its modern history, worsening gang violence, sexual violence, food insecurity and mass displacement,” she said.
Together with other party leaders, she said that Tuesday is a day to celebrate. A federal judge blocked the decision to end TPS for Haitians.
“The impacts, specifically in Miami-Dade County and South Florida will be tremendous,” President of the Florida Democratic Party Nikki Fried said. “Not only the ripping apart of our communities, but our small business owners.”
North Miami is home to the largest Haitian community in the United States.
North Miami Mayor Alix Desulme said the streets of North Miami have been noticeably empty. As a Haitian-American, he said he understands why people are afraid.
“The lawlessness, it’s bad so it’s not a situation for any human being,” he said.
And in Little Haiti at Notre Dame D’haiti, Father Reginal Jean said there’s damage already done.
“There are many people that did quit their jobs,” Father Jean said. “There are many young people from the church who went back to Brazil or Chile, to Haiti. There are many families that decided to go because it’s unbearable for them.”
On Saturday, while visiting Miami, Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem addressed TPS saying it was always meant to be temporary, and individuals should look for other programs they qualify for.
There is a candlelight vigil at the Little Haiti Cultural Center at 6 p.m. Tuesday to pray for those living with the uncertainty.
