- Francis ‘Frankie’ Carroll is one of five ‘domestic terrorists’ arrested at an autonomous zone in Atlanta
- The 22-year-old grew up in a $2m five-bedroom and four-bathroom mansion with his parents and two siblings
- He was an honor roll student at the Kennebunkport Middle and High schools before becoming radicalized
- Carroll grew up just a stone’s throw from the famous George H. W. Bush family compound
An Antifa ‘domestic terrorist’ is the son of a millionaire Maine surgeon who grew up in a stunning mansion in one of the most luxurious beach towns on the east coast, DailyMail.com can reveal.
Francis ‘Frankie’ Carroll, 22, was one of five people arrested on Tuesday at the autonomous zone at the site of the future Atlanta Public Safety Training Centre.
Leonard Voiselle, 20, of Macon, Georgia, Nicholas Dean Olson, 25, of Bennington, Nebraska, Serena Hertel, 25, of LA, and Arieon Robinson, 21, of Milwaukee, Wisconsin, were also arrested.
Carroll is the son of surgeon Dr Mike Carroll and grew up in a $2million five-bedroom and four-bathroom mansion in Kennebunkport – as well as enjoying time on his parents’ yacht.
His father works at Maine Health County Medical Center as a general surgeon, and his mother is a keen sailor – along with one of his two sisters.
A 2016 picture shows a man resembling Carroll on board the boat, called Allez, although the sailor’s identity is unclear.
He grew up just a stone’s throw from the famous Bush family compound – where George H. W. Bush spent his summer.
Since June 2021 far-left extremists have traveled to the location to prevent what they call a ‘cop city’ – with Carroll traveling more than 1,3000 miles to get to the violent zone.

Law enforcement say they were assaulted with rocks and bottles by militants occupying makeshift treehouses and have been accused of terrorizing nearby residents.
Carroll, who wiped his social media shortly before his arrest, has been charged with criminal trespass, domestic terrorism, aggravated assault, felony obstruction, interference with government property, and possession of tools for the commission of the crime.
He attended the Middle School of the Kennebunks, where he was an honour roll student, and then on to the High School where he was again on the honor roll.
Carroll then enrolled at the University of Maine – which costs $27,412 a year for a resident of the state like Carroll – but it is unclear what he chose to study and if he was radicalized while at the college.

In May, eight militants were arrested after police patrolling the land were assaulted and pelted with rocks and Molotov cocktails.
Left-wing groups used Twitter to fundraise bail for suspects after another six were arrested in August – charged with various crimes from burglary to criminal damage.
Members of the group tried to burn a man to death after he drove into the area, and he was forced to run for his life after they torched it with him still in it.
