What happened to Jake Harris from Deadliest Catch?
Jake Harris was involved in a controversy in November 2016, after he was severely beaten and robbed in Everett, Washington. On the day of the attack, he was at Quil Ceda Creek Casino in Marysville where he met a couple. Later, the couple insisted to drive him home, but instead they drove him to Everett.

His brother, Josh Harris, reported that Jake had suffered a serious brain trauma and crack on his skull. After few months, Josh updated about Jake’s recovery from the injury via Facebook.

Shortly after recovering from the incident, Jake and his female friend, who were on a vacation, had a dispute on some matter. In the rage of the dispute, he took away his friend’s car without permission and split from the hotel. She reported about the theft of her vehicle to the Phoenix PD in April 2017. The car was found the following day at Circus K and upon the search of the vehicle, the officers got hold of Xanax pills and crystal meth. Jake admitted the drugs were for his personal use. He was stamped with felony of drug possession and theft.
Apparently, a month later, Jake received an arrest warrant after failing to appear in the court on the scheduled date. He was due to appear on court to answer the allegations and face the charges of drug possession but he did not show up. He was declared wanted in the Phoenix state for violating the court order.

After spending few years of his life in a roller coaster, Jake Harris has lately been away from the controversies. Since the court incident, he has been escaping the media limelight. Since his last update on Facebook on December 21, 2017, there are no traces of him on social media. Maybe, that is for the best as he is spending time with his family and trying to get over his personal issues.
While his brother, Josh Harris, has returned in the 14th season of the Deadliest Catch with fan-favorite boat F/V Cornelia Marie, which was missing from season 13. He bought the fishing vessel in March 2013 which was confirmed by Josh in an interview on April 25, 2013. Captain Josh, along with co-owner and Captain Casey McManus will be taking the helm as per their designated crab season.
As many of Jake’s fans are wondering if Jake will return to the show as well, but sorry guys, the answer of now is a “No.” His fans are hopeful to him on the show, and hopefully Jake will not disappoint his well-wishers and admirers.
