Meghan Markle’s Troubled Nephew Caught Looking Stressed In First Photos Since Naked Drug Arrest
Dec. 2 2019, Updated 5:46 p.m. ET
Meghan Markle’s nephew has resurfaced for the first time since his naked drug arrest. RadarOnline.com can reveal exclusive photos of Thomas Dooley looking stressed out while smoking a cigarette outside of a Los Angeles courthouse.
The Duchess’s troubled relative is seen pacing up and down during a courtroom break. He went casual for the Tuesday, November 26 appearance, as he wore a hoodie, white t-shirt and jeans.
Dooley’s attorney, Damon Alimouri, represented the 28-year-old son of the royal’s half-brother, Thomas Markle Jr., in court on Tuesday, November 26.
He appeared before Judge Gustavo Sztraicher after being arraigned. His case is to be postponed until early next year for a preliminary hearing.
Eyewitnesses watched in horror as Dooley, who works as a Domino’s Pizza manager, was arrested while naked and screaming on a Hollywood street at 10am on September 26, 2019.
He had reportedly been wandering around an area near Santa Monica Boulevard shouting gibberish and wearing a small towel around his waist, which later fell to the ground.
A 65-second video clip showed Dooley being pushed towards a police car in a struggle by at least four officers, as he began cursing.
Instead of being booked for a misdemeanor, he was charged with felony resisting arrest after one of the officers hurt his knee during the altercation. Cops allege he was under the influence of drugs.
Once in the squad car, he allegedly continued to cause problems and police were forced to pull over and strap him to a gurney.
Dooley was held on $25,000 bail and was left in a grimy Hollywood jail for four days before later being released, RadarOnline.com reported.
He pleaded not guilty in a previous arraignment.

Caught On Camera
In video obtained by RadarOnline.com, Dooley is seen smoking a cigarette while talking on his cell phone in Los Angeles.
Everything OK?
He appeared serious all throughout the appearance, as he was spotted pacing back and forth during a court break.
More Trouble
RadarOnline.com previously revealed exclusive photos of Dooley’s rented Lexus GS 350 sports car. The owner was furious with him after he left the vehicle illegally parked outside the hotel near where Dooley was arrested.
So Shocking
“He disappeared and I had to hire a private detective to find the car,” the owner previously told RadarOnline.com. “When I did get it back, the thing was a complete mess!”
Yikes!
In photos obtained by RadarOnline.com, a penis-shaped sex toy was found on the floor of the vehicle. “The whole car stunk of weed and there was a pipe that had some sort of black residue on it — I don’t know if it was crack or crystal meth or something else, but it smelled bad,” the owner continued.
Family Feud
As RadarOnline.com readers know, Markle, 38, has been estranged from her father Thomas' side of the family ever since she became serious with Prince Harry. The two tied the knot in 2018.
Family Visit?
Markle and Dooley were actually in the same state for Thanksgiving, as Buckingham Palace released a statement revealing the Duke and Duchess of Sussex “are looking forward to extended family time towards the end of this month” and will spend time “as a new family, with the Duchess’ mother Doria Ragland.” The statement continued, “This decision is in line with precedent set previously by other members of the Royal Family, and has the support of Her Majesty The Queen".
