Suspect’s Arrest Months After Macklemore’s Home Robbed with 3 Kids Inside Leads to Pawn Shop Bust

Authorities in Washington State have arrested a person believed to be linked to the June burglary of Macklemore’s home.

Patrick Maisonet, a 29-year-old pawn shop owner, was arrested last month in Renton, Wash., Seattle police said, according to KOMO News, FOX 13 Seattle, and NBC.

Maisonet was booked on a robbery charge tied to an apparently unrelated incident in November 2024, KIRO 7 and FOX 13 Seattle reported, citing court documents.

He was recently identified as a suspect in the June 2025 burglary at the singer’s home but has not yet been charged in connection with that crime, the outlets said.

At the time of the alleged burglary, Macklemore’s three children — ages 10, 7, and 3-and-a-half months — were home, according to a Seattle Police Department report previously obtained by PEOPLE.

The report said two suspects broke into the home, and the children’s nanny called police just before 1 a.m. on June 7 after being attacked with bear spray. She managed to escape and told police she thought the crime might have been politically motivated.

The “Thrift Shop” singer and Grammy winner has openly supported Palestine on social media and during concerts. A month before the burglary, he wrote that he believes “standing up against [a genocide] shouldn’t have to be brave.”

Photos of items recovered during Maisonet’s pawn shop raid show a custom Sounders MLS Cup ring and a Seahawks ring, believed to belong to Macklemore, according to KOMO News.

Seattle police also allege Maisonet is linked to home invasion robberies involving several Seattle-area athletes, KOMO News reported, citing law enforcement sources.

Maisonet had an active arrest warrant for allegedly cutting off his ankle monitor earlier this year while serving home detention for a separate 2023 robbery, KOMO News said.

It is not yet clear whether he has entered a plea or hired an attorney to represent him.
