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 power plant booming with suspected UFO, drone sightings — but still no answers after over a year
Fleets of drones and suspected UFOs have been spotted hovering over a Wyoming power plant for more than a year, while a local sheriff’s department is still searching for clues.
Officials with the Sweetwater County Sheriff’s Office recorded scores of beaming, drone-like objects circling around the Red Desert and Jim Bridger Power Plant in Rock Springs over the last 13 months — though they didn’t specify how many, the Cowboy State Daily reported.
Sheriff John Grossnickle was one of the first to witness the spectacles, and last saw the mind-boggling formation on Dec. 12, his spokesperson Jason Mower told the outlet.
The fleets periodically congregate over the power plant in coordinated formations, Mower claimed.
The sheriff’s office hasn’t been able to recover any of the suspected UFOs, telling the outlet they’re too high to shoot down.
The law enforcement outpost’s exhaustive efforts to get to the truth haven’t yielded any results, even after Grossnickle enlisted help from Wyoming US Rep. Harriet Hageman — who Mower claimed saw the formation during a trip to the power plant.
Hageman could not be reached for comment.
“We’ve worked with everybody. We’ve done everything we can to figure out what they are, and nobody wants to give us any answers,” Mower said, according to the outlet.
At first, spooked locals bombarded the sheriff’s office with calls about the confounding aerial formations. Now, though, Mower said that people seem to have accepted it as “the new normal.”
Mower noted that the objects, which he interchangeably referred to as “drones” and “unidentified flying objects,” have yet to pose a danger to the public or cause any damage to the power plant itself.
“It’s like this phenomenon that continues to happen, but it’s not causing any, you know, issues that we have to deal with — other than the presence of them,” he told the outlet.
The spokesperson promised the sheriff’s office would “certainly act accordingly” if the drones pose an imminent harm.
Meanwhile, Niobrara County Sheriff Randy Starkey told the Cowboy State Daily that residents of his community also reported mystery drone sightings over Lance Creek — more than 300 miles from the Jim Bridger Power Plant — starting in late October 2024 and ending in early March.
Starkey said he’s “just glad they’re gone,” according to the outlet.
Drone sightings captured the nation’s attention last year when they were causing hysteria in sightings over New Jersey.
Just days into his second term, President Trump had to clarify that the drones were authorized by the Federal Aviation Administration to quell worries that they posed a national security threat.
Still, the public wasn’t convinced, but the mystery slowly faded as the sightings plummeted.
In October, though, an anonymous source with an unnamed military contractor told The Post that their company was responsible for the hysteria.
