Patrick Maisonet, a 29-year-old Renton resident, was charged Thursday with 10 felony counts connected to burglaries targeting professional athletes and musician Macklemore across the Seattle area between January and June 2025.
King County prosecutors filed charges including residential burglary, first-degree burglary, and first-degree robbery against Maisonet, who allegedly targeted high-profile victims including Seattle Mariners pitchers Luis Castillo and Blake Snell, baseball Hall of Famer Ichiro Suzuki, former Seahawks cornerback Richard Sherman, and Seattle rapper Macklemore.
During a Thursday court appearance on separate jewelry store robbery charges, Maisonet made obscene gestures toward cameras and shouted expletives before leaving the courtroom. He pleaded not guilty to those charges.
Court documents indicate investigators connected Maisonet to the crimes through cell phone records obtained via court orders. The records showed a common phone present at burglary locations and revealed communication patterns with Maisonet’s family members and associates, including alleged co-conspirator Earl Riley.
The phone records also showed communication with a South Seattle jeweller, where investigators later recovered high-value items stolen during the burglaries in the shop’s back room. Surveillance footage reportedly showed a suspect matching Maisonet’s description wearing similar clothing items, including balaclavas, jackets, and gloves, across multiple incidents.
The most serious incident occurred at Ichiro Suzuki’s Issaquah home on February 9th, when the suspect broke through a kitchen door whilst the retired player’s wife, Yumiko, was present. The intruder attempted to force entry into her bedroom, spraying pepper spray through the door opening before she secured it with a bar and door stopper. The suspect fled with $19,000 worth of items.
Court documents suggest the suspect may have used Wi-Fi jamming equipment during some burglaries, as Yumiko was unable to complete phone calls during the incident.
The case involves extensive coordination among multiple police departments, including Renton, Seattle, Issaquah, Edmonds, and the King County Sheriff’s Office. King County Prosecuting Attorney Leesa Manion credited the collaboration between local law enforcement and prosecutors’ Special Operations and Violent Crimes units.
A judge set bail at $1 million for the 10 new charges. Combined with previous cases, including a $750,000 bail for the Bellevue jewelry store robbery and $500,000 for a 2024 Seattle robbery, Maisonet’s total bail reaches $2.265 million. He remains in custody at the King County Correctional Facility.
The jewelry store case involved Maisonet allegedly serving as getaway driver whilst accomplices stole a $30,000 watch from Robbins Brothers Fine Jewelers in Bellevue on November 12th, 2024. Three employees sustained injuries attempting to stop the suspects, and one was nearly struck by the fleeing vehicle.
Prosecutors noted that Maisonet was wearing a court-ordered home monitoring device during the jewelry store theft, which he later removed, resulting in additional escape charges and a $500,000 bench warrant.
The targeting of high-profile athletes and entertainers represents an unusual criminal pattern that likely required advance planning and surveillance. The multi-month timeline suggests a systematic approach rather than opportunistic crimes.
For the victims, the incidents highlight security vulnerabilities facing public figures whose homes and schedules may be more easily identified than average residents. The case also demonstrates how modern investigative techniques, particularly cell phone data analysis, can connect seemingly separate crimes across multiple jurisdictions.
