Cops pick up real estate magnate Patrick Carroll for psych evaluation after gun incident

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 police sources tell us that Carroll 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 Org founder — who has reportedly signed a deal to sell his company for some $80million — to a local hospital for evaluation.

They 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 Miami Beach Police 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 been a regular in Page Six for his many appearances at celebrity studded events alongside the likes of Leonardo DiCaprio, Jamie Foxx and Mayor Eric Adams, as well as his philanthropic efforts. (He has for several years 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.
