Miami police came to real estate mogul Patrick Carroll’s lavish $16.4 million mansion this week to investigate gunshots heard outside his home.
In videos posted on Carroll’s Instagram, the 44-year-old billionaire was seen dressed in a white t-shirt, black joggers and a red MAGA cap and holding a half-smoked cigar as four MPD police cars pulled up to his ultra-luxury estate.
A tattooed and agitated Carroll stood in his driveway, his Doberman Pinscher and Goldendoodle scurrying about, saying, “I did nothing wrong.”
One of the officers replied: ‘You haven’t done anything wrong? You shoot bullets in the back. We don’t know if it’s bullets or gunshots or something.’

Carroll replied: ‘I don’t let them on my property’.
At one point he waves his arm at the police and asks: ‘Am I under arrest. I need to know so I can ask my lawyer.’
The businessman filmed the incident and posted it to his Instagram with the caption: ‘I know my rights’ with an American flag emoji.
DailyMail.com has reached out to the Miami Police Department for comment.
In a statement issued to Page sixA police spokesman said: ‘I can confirm that law enforcement personnel responded to 810 Lakeview Drive regarding claims of possible gunshots heard in the area.’
‘MBPD conducted a preliminary investigation which yielded no victim or scene. This incident was referred to our Criminal Investigation Department for a more thorough assessment,” they added.
Carroll is later seen walking down his driveway with two Rolls Royces visible in the video clip.
“Look at all these cops. Like they’ve got nothing better to do,” he says on the recording.
‘Hello? Hello? I’m going out. I need to get out of my driveway.’
‘Can someone please move. I’m busy. Would anyone mind moving?’
One of the officers replies: ‘I’ll make the person move the car.’
One of the officers replied: ‘You haven’t done anything wrong? You shoot bullets in the back. We don’t know if it’s bullets or gunshots or something.
This week’s incident was not the first time Carroll, who is worth an estimated $8.2 billion, has made headlines
Carroll’s Instagram story provides a further glimpse into his fast-paced lifestyle filled with high-end hotels, high-end restaurants, yachts, luxury cars, designer clothes, jewels and wads of cash that he seems to flaunt for the camera.
In one video, Carroll appears in his car complaining about Miami traffic before throwing a tantrum inside a Rolls Royce dealer’s showroom regarding a problem with his luxury car.
He snapped at the manager about the service, and when the manager politely told him he’d arrange to get him transport to his meeting, Carroll snapped: ‘Well do it. What am I stopping you ‘mother f******.’
Carroll posted the incident on his Instagram and said: ‘I think a manager should take responsibility for their employees’.
A photograph has also emerged showing him brandishing what appears to be an assault rifle on his yacht, according to the news outlet.
A source told Page Six: ‘We want him to know that people care about him and want him to get help.’
DailyMail.com has contacted Carroll’s lawyer for comment.
This week’s incident isn’t the first time Carroll, who is worth an estimated $8.2 billion, has made headlines.
In April 2023, Carroll reportedly tried to hit on a woman who was on a date at Miami’s Japanese restaurant Hiyakawa, then spat in the manager’s face.
Carroll asked the woman’s date if he could buy her a drink, which the maître d’ says he politely declined to allow.

As the meal progressed, Carroll – without taking no for an answer – tried to follow the woman into the bathroom and when the manager tried to stop him, that’s when Carroll spat in his face.

Months before that incident, Carroll was accused of telling the service manager he was a ‘street n****r’, which resulted in him being banned from five restaurants in Miami.
In that case, Carroll should have refused a glass of wine poured for one of his guests.
The lawsuit alleges he followed a Carbone server outside on the street and pushed him.
Their argument caught the attention of the service manager, who went over to intervene.
The lawsuit describes how the service manager told him his ongoing aggression had become a problem.
In response, Carroll tried to give him cash – which he refused.
According to the complaint, he then told him: ‘Never in my life will I stoop to a street (n—–) like you.’
The Daily Beast reports that Carroll also admitted to beating his ex-wife in 2019 and that he threatened to beat up an official at a ski resort in Colorado.
He was also reportedly sued for defamation by his ex-wife’s lawyer, who he had claimed had “messed with young children”, and also allegedly posted a video of his ex-wife having sex on Instagram, previously reported by DailyMail.com .
