Jack Doherty, a YouTuber, apprehended in Miami for drug possession
YouTuber Jack Doherty was arrested on drug possession and other charges in the Miami area in the early hours of Saturday morning, police said.
The influencer was filming video content while attempting to engage with police officers in the middle of the road, blocking traffic in the process, according to arrest documents published by US media.
He was then apprehended, before a police search found “half of an orange oval-shaped pill with 3 imprinted on it, consistent with a Schedule II amphetamine”, and three “suspected cannabis cigarettes”.
The 22-year-old is known for filming provocative videos involving pranks, with titles like “I got kicked off a cruise” and “I crashed into a cop car”.
He is also known for videos in which he provokes strangers on the street, before hiding behind his bodyguard.
He has more than 15 million subscribers on YouTube, over 10 million followers on TikTok and more than 2.8 million followers on Instagram.
It is unclear if Mr Doherty has a lawyer. A representative listed on his social media did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

US lawmaker Marjorie Taylor Greene accuses Trump of inciting threats following their fallout | Latest News on Donald Trump
The former Trump ally accuses him of trying to intimidate Republicans before a US House vote next week over the Epstein files.
Published On 16 Nov 2025
Republican lawmaker Marjorie Taylor Greene has accused United States President Donald Trump of putting her life in danger, saying his online criticism has triggered a wave of threats against her.
Greene, once a longtime Trump loyalist who has more recently taken positions at odds with the president, on Saturday said she has been contacted by private security firms warning about her safety.

“Aggressive rhetoric attacking me has historically led to death threats and multiple convictions of men who were radicalised by the same type [of] rhetoric being directed at me right now,” Greene, a House of Representatives member from Georgia, posted on X.
“This time by the President of the United States.”
The White House has not yet responded to her post.
Trump broke off with Greene, 51, on Friday night in a withering social media post, in which he referred to Greene as “wacky” and a “ranting lunatic” who complained he would not take her calls.
He continued his criticism on Saturday with two more social media posts, calling her a “lightweight Congresswoman”, a “traitor”, and a “disgrace” to the Republican Party.
Trump spurs ‘radical internet trolls’
In her first response posted on Friday, Greene accused Trump of lying about her and trying to intimidate other Republicans before a House of Representatives vote next week on releasing files related to the late financier Jeffrey Epstein, a convicted child sex offender who was friendly with Trump in the 1990s and 2000s before they had a falling out.
On Saturday, Greene wrote that she now has a “small understanding” of the fear and pressure felt by the victims of Epstein, who died by suicide in a jail cell in 2019.
“As a Republican, who overwhelmingly votes for President Trump’s bills and agenda, his aggression against me which also fuels the venomous nature of his radical internet trolls [many of whom are paid], this is completely shocking to everyone,” she wrote.
On Wednesday, Greene was one of only four House Republicans who joined Democrats in signing a petition to force a vote on releasing the full Justice Department files related to Epstein, as the scandal once again ensnares Trump.
The US president has called the furore over Epstein a “hoax” pushed by the Democrats.
He suggested in his Truth Social post that conservative voters in Greene’s district might consider a primary challenger and that he would support the right candidate against her in next year’s congressional election.
Online backlash from Trump supporters is not unusual. Right-wing influencers and conservative media personalities have become a potent online force in amplifying talking points and false claims, and attempting to discredit Trump’s rivals.
MacKenzie Scott’s Former College Roommate’s Generosity Inspires Her to Give Away Billions
MacKenzie Scott has been one of the most generous philanthropists during the past few years, and an episode in college may help explain why.
After finalizing her divorce from Amazon founder Jeff Bezos in 2019, Scott ended up with a load of shares she earned from helping to build the e-commerce giant during its early days, when she helped with business plans and contracts. Upon their divorce, Scott received roughly a 4% stake in Amazon, or about 139 million shares at the time.
Since 2020, Scott has reduced her stake by 42%, selling or donating about 58 million shares. The philanthropist is still worth more than $35 billion today, despite having donated $19.25 billion through her philanthropic platform Yield Giving, which she founded in 2022. Yield Giving has donated to thousands of organizations, focused on issues including DEI, education, disaster recovery, and more.
This fall alone, she’s donated well over $400 million to several education- and DEI-focused organizations, many of which received the largest gifts in their respective histories.
Scott sees the value of and need for support, especially during someone’s early, formative years. After all, she had to borrow money from her college roommate when she was struggling.
“It is these ripple effects that make imagining the power of any of our own acts of kindness impossible,” Scott wrote of giving in an Oct. 15 essay published to her Yield Giving site. “Whose generosity did I think of every time I made every one of the thousands of gifts I’ve been able to give?
“It was the local dentist who offered me free dental work when he saw me securing a broken tooth with denture glue in college. It was the college roommate who found me crying, and acted on her urge to loan me a thousand dollars to keep me from having to drop out in my sophomore year.”
After graduating from Princeton University, Scott went on to become a talented novelist—a product of none other than Toni Morrison’s teaching. And in 2005, she published her debut novel, The Testing of Luther Albright, which won an American Book Award in 2006. Morrison reviewed the book as “a rarity: a sophisticated novel that breaks and swells the heart.”
Her roommate from Princeton saw the difference that the $1,000 gift had made in her life, and that inspired her roommate to start a company 20 years later that offers loans to low-income students without a co-signer.
That roommate was Jeannie Ringo Tarkenton, who went on to found Funding U, which has provided $80 million in low-interest loans to about 8,000 students who needed help to pay for college, according to Princeton. Tarkenton still plays it cool, though, when asked about how she changed Scott’s life.
“I’ve always said she would have graduated without that grace, as would probably a lot of the thousands of kids I help because they are hardworking people who kind of try to figure it out,” Tarkenton told Princeton Alumni Weekly. “But small graces everywhere add up—or big graces, when it comes to MacKenzie’s [giving].”
Demolition derby car crashes into crowd in Australia, leaving thirteen injured
Thirteen people were injured, two critically, after a car crashed into a crowd during a demolition derby in southeastern Australia, police said.
The car had been taking part in a race in the town of Walcha on Saturday night when it drove through a fence and hit the grandstand, New South Wales police said in a statement.
The race, part of the annual Walcha Motorcycle Rally, had been a demolition derby – a type of motorsport where drivers ram their vehicles into one another.
Brendan Moylan, a member of parliament for Northern Tablelands, the region where Walcha is located, said on social media on Sunday that nine people remained in hospital and “all are now recovering”.
Earlier, police put the number of injured at nine. They said the ages of the injured bystanders ranged from 20 to 75, while a critically injured person was a 54-year-old man. An investigation was under way, they said.
Police said they were told that the 27-year-old driver of the car had been involved in a collision on the track right before it drove into the fence.
In a statement published on the Walcha Motorcycle Rally’s Facebook page, the Walcha Council said that it was “shocked and stunned at the unfortunate accident”.
The Council said it would work with authorities to “examine the circumstances which led to the accident”.
Giving any comments before concluding the inquiries would be “inappropriate”, it said.
In a post on Facebook, Moylan thanked emergency responders and other bystanders for their “swift and incredibly professional work at the scene”.
“My thoughts are with everyone affected,” he wrote.
Barnaby Joyce, former deputy prime minister and incumbent New England lawmaker, wrote on Facebook that his “thoughts, prayer and hopes” were with those injured in the crash.
“Such a sad end to such a great event,” he wrote.
The Walcha Motorcycle Rally describes itself as a “grassroots event for motorcycle enthusiasts”.
