- Patrick Maisonet, 29, pleaded not guilty Monday to 10 felony charges for burglaries and robberies at homes in Seattle, including Macklemore and athlete residences.

- Targets included Mariners pitchers Luis Castillo and Blake Snell, Hall of Famer Ichiro Suzuki whose wife was pepper-sprayed, former Seahawk Richard Sherman, and Macklemore, whose home was robbed at gunpoint.
- Prosecutors demanded $1 million bail citing a 'disturbing' record and Maisonet’s possession of pepper spray, firearms, and WIFI blockers to prevent 911 calls during robberies.
- Maisonet remains jailed on over $2 million bail, and the FBI and sports leagues have issued alerts after a pattern of such crimes targeting professional athletes emerged nationally.
