YouTuber Jack Doherty was arrested in Miami Beach early Saturday after police say he blocked traffic to film a social media video and was found carrying drugs, CBS News reports. Officers reported that Doherty was part of a group that entered the roadway around 3am on Washington Avenue in the city's Entertainment District.
Doherty, who police say was trying to interact with officers in order to "create video content," allegedly ignored multiple commands to leave the street, despite warnings that he would be arrested if he did not comply. At one point, Doherty told officers he would comply "once I'm done with this bet," according to arrest documents. TMZ has video allegedly showing Doherty arguing with officers in the street.
Police say he was arrested in the middle of the road, and a search turned up half of an oval-shaped orange pill with "3" imprinted on it, which police identified as a Schedule II amphetamine, along with a container holding three hand-rolled cigarettes suspected to be cannabis. No active warrants were found during a records check, and Doherty was taken to a police holding facility for booking.
