Patrick Carroll jailed in Wyoming, wanted in Tampa
Multifamily syndicator Patrick Carroll is a wanted man in his native Tampa. The Hillsborough County Sheriff’s Office recently issued a warrant for his arrest stemming from an aggravated stalking charge this summer, state and county records show.
Carroll was arrested on Saturday in Lincoln County, Wyoming, online booking records show. A Lincoln County Sheriff spokesperson did not respond to request for comment if Carroll was being held for extradition to Tampa.
The Hillsborough County warrant marks the latest bout of crime-related trouble for Carroll, who in July was arrested and criminally charged in Los Angeles for allegedly evading a police officer and carrying a loaded firearm in public.
The Hillsborough County Sheriff’s Office did not provide a copy of the arrest warrant and the aggravated stalking report by deadline, but the police agency’s online warrant database shows the incident allegedly occurred on July 16. At the time, Carroll also faced a criminal contempt charge for allegedly violating a 2019 divorce settlement agreement with his ex-wife, Lindsey Truex, Hillsborough County court records show.
Vincent Citro, an attorney representing Carroll in the divorce court proceedings, declined to comment.
Last year, Carroll sold his eponymous firm to RMR Group for $80 million. He still owns an interest in multifamily properties managed by Atlanta-based Carroll Organization.
Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, via executive order, recently reassigned prosecution of Carroll’s case to Brian Haas, state attorney for Polk, Highlands and Hardee counties. Hillsborough County State Attorney Susan Lopez requested a recusal because Carroll has a “past association with the former state attorney and the sheriff of Hillsborough County,” the executive order states.
On July 1, Carroll led Los Angeles police officers on a pursuit, jumped out of a car he was driving and attempted to flee on foot. Cops quickly apprehended him after he ran down an embankment, according to Los Angeles Police officials and news footage taken from a TV station helicopter.
Carroll pleaded not guilty in the Los Angeles case, which is still pending, court records show. Since last year, Carroll has garnered headlines for erratic behavior and heated confrontations. Including an incident in April 2023 in which Carroll allegedly spit in the face of a Wynwood restaurant manager. That manager, Miguel Angel Weill, has a pending defamation lawsuit in Miami-Dade Circuit Court against Carroll.
In March, Miami Beach Police forced Carroll to temporarily give up his firearms and undergo a three-day mental health evaluation after he filmed himself firing a shotgun on his boat behind the backyard of his waterfront home.
Since his arrest in Los Angeles, Carroll has sometimes posted on his Instagram account about having problems with his mental health, including sharing with his 1.2 million followers a photo of a July 7 letter from a facility where he was being treated for post-traumatic stress disorder.
On Aug. 10, he posted a message that he was taking a break from social media to “receive some medical treatment in Massachusetts.”
Earlier this month, Carroll posted a selfie video where he opened up about dealing with mental health-related issues. “Over the last few months, I have gotten help with it,” he said. “I’ve embraced it head on. I’ve hired some of the best doctors in the world….As a leader, it is something that people have a stigma around it, and you really shouldn’t.”
WYOMING — Governor Mark Gordon hosted an impromptu panel discussion earlier this week with state veterinarians and the Wyoming Department of Health (WDH) to initiate communication efforts relating to the New World screwworm.
A statement from Gordon’s office says that there are no reported outbreaks of the flesh-eating New World screwworm in the U.S. outside of previously confirmed cases in Texas and New Mexico. Gordon called the session to increase lines of communication about the screwworm ahead of Wyoming’s peak summer travel, backcountry and rodeo season. Included in the panel were State Veterinarian Dr. Hallie Hasel, State Wildlife Veterinarian Dr. Samantha Allen, and WDH Public Health Veterinarian Dr. Emily Curren.
“There are no reported cases in Wyoming; however, Texas and New Mexico are tracking instances, so it is important to keep all citizens informed — including pet owners, campers, rodeo athletes, and sportsmen, in addition to our ag, ranching and wildlife communities.” Gordon said in the statement. “I’m satisfied with the extensive outreach regarding NWS that has been ongoing to our ag, livestock, and wildlife professionals.”
Gordon and the panelists fielded questions and heard commentary from various professionals, including Wyoming Department of Agriculture Director Doug Miyamoto, Director of Wyoming Game and Fish Department Angi Bruce, and Wyoming Livestock Board Director Steven True.
New World screwworm is a deadly, flesh-eating parasite that was previously eradicated in the United States and hasn’t been seen in Texas since 1966. An outbreak of the insects in Panama spurred a state of emergency in 2023, and a case of the screwworm was confirmed in southern Mexico in 2024. The female flies lay their eggs in open wounds of mammals, and the livestock industry is fearful of potential impacts on cattle and beef production.
Below are the key takeaways from the discussion, per Gordon’s statement.
- There are no reported outbreaks of New World screwworm in Wyoming.
- New World screwworms feed on and lay eggs in open wounds of warm-blooded animals, including humans.
- Transmission to humans is very rare.
- New World screwworm is not a food safety issue.
- Livestock and domesticated animals should be checked regularly — daily if possible.
- Contact a veterinarian or medical doctor if open wounds are painful and persistent.
- Keeping fly populations under control at rodeo events protects animals and people.
- Protocols for safe animal transport are currently in place in Wyoming.
- Wildlife and game populations are being monitored for early indicators of fly strikes.
JACKSON, Wyo. – Jackson Hole Public Art (JHPA) is proud to announce the
public installation of 250 Portraits, a community art project featuring self-portraits created and submitted by Wyoming residents from across the state. Launched in honor of the nation’s 250th anniversary, the project invited Wyomingites of all ages and backgrounds to submit portraits of themselves or other Wyoming residents, resulting in a vibrant and deeply personal collection of artwork.
Portraits were submitted by artists ranging in age from 5 to over 80, representing residents from 16 of Wyoming’s 23 counties. Participants included individuals, families, school groups, and educators who worked with their students to take part. The result is a wide-ranging snapshot of the people who call Wyoming home, from young children just beginning to express themselves through art to lifelong residents reflecting on decades of experience and identity.
The portraits are now on display in five large-scale grid installations located throughout downtown Jackson. They can be found at the Center for the Arts, JH Book Trader, the Antler Inn, the alley at Pinky G’s, and the Jackson Hole Elks Lodge. The exhibition will remain on view throughout the summer, giving locals and visitors alike the opportunity to take in the full collection at their own pace.
The exhibit, 250 Portraits, was designed to highlight both individual identity and collective belonging, weaving together faces from communities large and small into a single, statewide visual portrait of Wyoming’s people. By placing the work in accessible, high-traffic locations in downtown Jackson, JHPA hopes to spark conversation among residents and visitors about what it means to be part of a community that spans such a wide and varied landscape.
A self-guided walking map is available to help visitors navigate between the five sites and experience other public art projects throughout Jackson. For more information and to access the 2026 Public Art Map, visit https://www.jhpublicart.org/art/2026map.
Pair your portrait with an audio story! Please consider adding your voice to another state-wide project celebrating the stories of everyday Wyomingites: Re-Storying the West.
