Doctor Arrested for Cruelty - Accused of Battery of 14-Year-Old at a Mandeville-area Psychiatric Facility

Garrick Klaybor, age 39 and a New Orleans-area doctor, has been arrested on cruelty charges after he was accused of battery of a 14-year old patient at a Mandeville-area behavioral health facility. 

Deputies with the St. Tammany Parish Sheriff’s Office were contacted Monday (April 7, 2025) evening by staff members of the facility in reference to an incident which occurred the night prior involving the juvenile patient. Staff members reported that while they were securing the juvenile, the doctor pushed him and struck him with a closed fist. The juvenile was transported that night to a local hospital, where he was evaluated and released.

A warrant was issued for Klaybor on Tuesday (April 8, 2025) morning for one count of Cruelty to the Infirmed. Klaybor turned himself in Wednesday (April 9, 2025) evening and was booked into the St. Tammany Parish Correctional Center.
