A 29-year-old Renton man was charged with a slew of burglary and robbery charges Thursday for his alleged role in break-ins at the homes of professional athletes and Seattle rapper Macklemore stretching from February to June, according to King County prosecutors.
Patrick Maisonet was arrested by a SWAT team Aug. 21 in Renton on warrants for robbery and escape in connection with a 2023 case, court records show. He was charged last week with second-degree robbery, accused of being the getaway driver for two accomplices who stole a $30,000 watch from a Bellevue jewelry store in November.
He is now the second man to face charges for burglaries at the homes of Mariners pitcher Luis Miguel Castillo in Issaquah, Los Angeles Dodgers pitcher Blake Snell in Edmonds, and former Seahawks cornerback Richard Sherman in Maple Valley. His co-defendant in those cases is 21-year-old Earl Riley, who was arrested and charged in June with four counts of residential burglary (Castillo’s home was burglarized twice) and one count of first-degree robbery. Riley remains jailed in lieu of $1 million bail.
Maisonet is being held on combined bail totaling more than $2.2 million for four separate criminal cases.
Luxury watches, jewelry, designer bags and cash were among the items stolen, according to the charges. Some of the stolen items were found in the backroom of a Rainier Valley jewelry store, whose owner was allegedly acting as a “fence” to move the stolen goods, the charges say.
The charges filed Thursday indicate Maisonet and Riley are also suspected of casing the Clyde Hill home of former professional baseball player and coach Edgar Martinez in March, though it’s unclear why they didn’t break in.
The charges also reference the June break-in at the home of Seattle rapper Macklemore but don’t go into detail. However, Benjamin Hammond Haggerty — Macklemore’s given name — is one of the eight named victims in the case, along with a woman, presumably the nanny.
Seattle police have previously said two intruders used bear spray on a 22-year-old nanny, who was taking care of three children at the time of the June 7 break-in. A second suspect has not yet been identified.
Maisonet was also charged with first-degree robbery and residential burglary for a Feb. 9 break-in at the Issaquah home of Ichiro Suzuki, the former Mariners outfielder who was inducted into Major League Baseball’s Hall of Fame in July.
Ichiro wasn’t home at the time but his wife and their dog were, charging papers say. She later told police through an interpreter she was in the master bedroom when the dog started barking and she saw through a video feed that the glass kitchen door had been broken open, according to the charges.
She tried to call friends for help but the call wouldn’t go through, presumably because the intruder used a Wi-Fi jammer as was done in future burglaries, the charges say.
When the intruder tried to force open her locked bedroom door, she used “all her strength” to push back on the door and was sprayed in the face through a gap in the frame with OC spray, according to charging papers. She continued to fight back, secured the door with a bar and door stopper, and yelled that she was calling 911. The intruder fled with $19,000 worth of items, the charges say.
The charges filed Thursday against Maisonet also implicate him as being involved in and connected to other suspects in a string of home invasions beginning in summer 2023 targeting Asian residents.
In January, a Renton man called 911 and reported a burglary in progress after he was notified by his alarm company of a break-in, the charges say. When he arrived home, a man later identified as Maisonet was trying to load a safe into his vehicle but took off, nearly crashing into the man’s vehicle as he arrived home, according to the charges. About $2,000 in cash was taken from the home.
Police used cellphone records, video-surveillance footage, social media accounts, clothing, vehicle and physical descriptions and recorded jail and prison phone calls to build their case against Maisonet, according to the charges.
In one call with a man later identified as Javez Tubbs, who is in custody at the Maleng Regional Justice Center in Kent awaiting trial on charges related to home invasion robberies of Asian residents, the caller, presumably Maisonet, told him, “I’m doing everything you taught me,” the charges say.
In other calls, the caller made references to being in the dugout," "being in the major leagues," and intimated he was messing "with baseball, according to the charges.
“It’s important to note, minus Richard Sherman, all the professional athletes in this investigation are professional baseball players,” a Renton police detective wrote in the charges, so it’s reasonable to conclude the caller “was bragging about his exploits to someone he looked up to.”
