Controversial YouTuber Jack Doherty might have walked into more trouble than he initially expected, as the 'brutal' prison sentence he could soon face has now been revealed.
There are few individuals on social media that appear to cause more outrage than Jack Doherty, as the in-your-face YouTuber is never shy to boast his wealth, and has engaged in a number of controversial pranks that most don't find too funny.
You might recognize him as the creator who crashed his $200,000 McLaren supercar because he was on his phone while driving, and was seemingly more concerned with the status of his live stream than the health of his fellow passenger.
He also earned recent notoriety when he landed a humiliating prank on his wife-to-be McKinley Richardson at the altar, where he presented a last-minute pre-nuptial agreement that stated, among other things, that she would owe him $10 million if she cheated, and that he was entitled to all future earnings from her OnlyFans account.

Doherty found himself on the wrong side of the law over the weekend though, as he was arrested on November 15 by the Miami Police Department after they caught him in possession of 'half of an orange oval-shaped pill with 3 imprinted on it, consistent with a Schedule II amphetamine', alongside three 'suspected cannabis cigarettes'.
It didn't take long for the YouTuber to make it back onto the streets though, as he was boasting about being 'free' in an Instagram story that same night, while showing off his new friends that corroborate how he 'ran' the prison during his short stint in another post.
As reported by LADbible, Doherty might not be boasting for much longer though as while his bail bond was set at 'only' $3,500, the maximum term for his three charges could land him up to seven years in prison according to Florida state law.
He faces a controlled substance charge, alongside possession of 20 grams or less of marijuana, and resisting an officer without violence to his or her person, as per information obtained by NBC6.
While the latter two are 'merely' first-degree misdemeanours which can only land you a maximum of a year behind bars, the first is a third-degree felony that can carry up to five years in prison, with all three combining to a 'brutal' sentence.
It's unlikely that Doherty gets anywhere near this much though considering the fact that he doesn't have any prior convictions in the state, with reports indicating that an average sentence of 24 months is handed out for circumstances of his kind, and he might not even face prison time at all.
Being annoying on the internet isn't illegal or a crime, so in Doherty's case he might escape harsh justice this time around.
