The man who broke into Macklemore’s Seattle home, and assaulted his nanny with bear spray has been busted.

Police have arrested the man who focused rapper Macklemore in a violent house invasion in Seattle’s Capitol Hill neighborhood.

Masked intruders attacked his nanny with bear spray and stole prized sports activities memorabilia, together with his Seattle Seahawks and Sounders championship rings, authorities mentioned.

Now, Seattle police have confirmed that they arrested 29-year-old Patrick Maisonet on August 21 throughout a SWAT operation at his house in Renton, based on KING 5 News.

Though initially booked on unrelated fees, Maisonet is predicted to face prosecution for the June break-in. He stays in custody at King County Jail on $750,000 bail.

Authorities described Maisonet as having an extended file of violent offenses. They mentioned he had eliminated his court-mandated ankle monitor earlier than allegedly committing extra crimes.

The housebreaking occurred within the early morning hours of June 7. Two masked males entered the unlocked patio door of Macklemore‘s house whereas he was performing abroad in Ireland.

Inside the home, a 22-year-old nanny was caring for his three kids. The kids weren’t harmed.

According to the police and the nanny’s assertion, one of the intruders instructed the other to spray her with bear spray. She suffered chemical burns to her face and eyes.

While demanding valuables, the suspects compelled her to cause them to the master suite, the place they grabbed jewellery, luxurious watches and designer footwear.

She was thrown to the ground, had a boot pressed in opposition to her ankle and neck, and was pinned in opposition to a wall with a hand overlaying her mouth.

She managed to chew one of many attackers, escape to the toilet, and flee the house. She ran to close by homes till somebody answered and helped her name 911.

Days after Maisonet’s arrest, detectives searched a South Seattle jewellery retailer suspected of trafficking stolen items.

Police recovered a number of objects linked to Macklemore and different high-profile housebreaking victims, together with his championship rings.

Investigators consider Maisonet could also be tied to a string of burglaries focusing on celebrities and athletes within the area.

Prosecutors are presently making ready formal fees.
