YouTuber and social media influencer Jack Doherty was arrested for drug possession and other charges in Miami Beach after he was found disrupting traffic to allegedly film social media content, police said.

Miami Beach Police announced that the 22-year-old was taken into custody early Saturday on multiple charges, including possessing amphetamine and marijuana, along with resisting an officer without violence.

“The Miami Beach Police Department remains steadfast in its commitment to maintain public safety and order throughout the city—regardless of celebrity status,” the agency said. “The Department will continue to take proactive enforcement action against behavior that endangers residents, visitors, or officers and will hold all individuals accountable under the law.”

According to his bio on Delka Talents, his talent agency, Doherty has over 3.2 million YouTube subscribers and over 500 million YouTube views. Doherty is best known for filming “daredevil” stunts and pranks, and his most-watched video has over 18 million views as of March 2018, his bio said.

CBS News Miami has reached out to Doherty’s representatives for comment on his arrest.   

An influencer blocks traffic for the sake of “content”

Around 3:12 a.m. Saturday, Miami Beach Police officers were conducting a high-visibility detail along the 700 block of Washington Avenue within the city’s Entertainment District, when a group of individuals entered the roadway from the east sidewalk into the northbound lanes. A man from the group — later identified as Doherty — separated from them and attempted to engage officers to “create video content, positioning himself in the middle of the roadway with passing vehicular traffic and creating a significant safety hazard,” according to arrest documents obtained by CBS News Miami.

Miami Beach Police officers began issuing multiple commands to direct Doherty to exit the roadway, but he refused. Even after his group urged him to comply, he continued refusing officers’ commands.

Officers continued, warning Doherty that failure to comply would result in his arrest. Still, the influencer continued to refuse commands and told them, “Once I’m done with this bet,” the arrest documents said. At this moment, Miami Beach Police safely apprehended Doherty in the middle of the road due to his “deliberate refusal to follow lawful orders and continued to obstruct traffic.”

According to arrest documents, while officers searched Doherty’s person, they found “half of an orange oval-shaped pill with 3 imprinted on it, consistent with a Schedule II amphetamine, as well as a black plastic container holding three hand-rolled suspected cannabis cigarettes weighing approximately 4.0 grams combined.”

After a records check that showed no active warrants, officers took Doherty to Miami Beach Police’s holding facility for booking and contacted an after-hours attorney for charging guidance.

For Alex Woo, the director behind In Your Dreams, the story is relatable to his own experiences.

In this latest Netflix animated movie, “a pair of young siblings as they navigate a fantastical dream world, seeking the mythical Sandman in hopes that he can fix their family.”

“When I was 6 or 7 years old, I woke up one morning and my mom had her bags packed,” says the filmmaker in an interview with Variety. 

He recalls, “She was at the front door, and I had no idea what was going on. She had to gently explain to me and my brother that she was going away to figure out things for our family. I didn’t really know what that meant, but I knew things were about to change.”

Moreover, Alex expands on how the idea of In Your Dreams came into being. “It coincided with the inception of our company,” he says. “I left Pixar in 2016 and spent the first year or two dreaming up different ideas for movies and TV shows that we wanted to see.”

The director continues, “We realized it’s hard to give a dream movie stakes because anything can happen, so that was the big challenge. We knew we wanted to do something in the dream world, but we needed an emotional core to the story.”

“That’s when I brought up this thing that happened to me when I was 6 or 7 years old. I woke up one morning, and my mom had her bags packed, Alex notes. 

“She was at the front door, and I had no idea what was going on. She had to gently explain to me and my brother that she was going away to figure out things for our family.”

“I didn’t really know what that meant, but I knew things were about to change. A lot of this movie was inspired by that experience,” the filmmaker concludes.

In Your Dreams is streaming on Netflix.
