Psych eval for real estate bro

-

PAGE Six reported last week that police had descended on the Miami mansion of brash real estate mogul Patrick Carroll after reports of gunshots at his home. A photograph also emerged showing Carroll on his yacht holding what appeared to be an assault rifle.

Now law enforcemen­t sources tell us that Carroll, 44, has been picked up by police under the Baker Act — a Florida law that allows authoritie­s to take people in for psychiatri­c evaluation if family or friends are concerned about their welfare or the safety of others.

Cops told us that they took the Carroll Organizati­on founder — who signed a deal to sell his company for $80 million, reports said in July — to a local hospital for evaluation.

Our sources also told us that a judge has signed a “risk protection order,” which requires Carroll — a vocal gun enthusiast — to surrender any firearms that he owns within 72 hours.

Christophe­r Bess of the Miami Beach Police Department told us that the investigat­ion into Carroll’s alleged gun play is “ongoing.”

Carroll burst onto the scene a couple of years back, and has since made semi-regular appearance­s on Page Six. We’ve found him at celebrity-studded events alongside the likes of Leonardo DiCaprio, Jamie Foxx and Mayor Eric Adams. He’s also gotten press for his philanthro­pic efforts: For several years he’s run sneaker-giveaway events, often handing out a million dollars’ worth of kicks to kids across the country.

He has also been involved in a number of headline-grabbing scrapes. In 2022, we reported that Carroll was booted from a swanky bash in Capri, Italy, after getting into a standoff with security, and we recently revealed that he’d drawn the ire of Tom Ford insiders after he took a free flight to Milan with his girlfriend to attend the design house’s fashion week show — only to return a trove of clothing on his return to the US.

A rep for Carroll was unable to reach him before deadline.
