History[]
From his sister, Patrick discovered that his niece, Maddy was being molested by a man named Mr. Buggesi. Enraged, Patrick tracked Buggesi down to his apartment building and violently beat him after the man confessed and apologized. Patrick would've most likely killed Mr. Buggesi if he had not been stopped by Captain Cragen and Detective Stabler, who went to Mr. Buggesi's apartment after suspecting him to be the one behind a recent school shooting. Patrick was arrested on the spot, while Buggesi was rendered unconscious, Stabler discovered Patrick's relation to Maddy and his motive, while expressing sympathy. Before being taken away, Patrick asked to be put in the same cell as Buggesi, though was denied as EMS took Buggesi for treatment. Patrick and the detectives learned the supposed rifle that Buggesi threatened Maddy with was a toy.
He was imprisoned for burglary and assault, likely facing a light sentence for defending his niece. (SVU: "Raw")
