HOUSTON<\/strong> – <\/span>Two men who admitted to breaking into Houston Astros star Jose Altuve’s home in 2023 have been sentenced to more than two decades behind bars, but a third accomplice who also pleaded guilty remains on the run after allegedly cutting off his ankle monitor and fleeing before sentencing.<\/p>

Jose Altuve burglary accomplice still on the run after guilty plea<\/h2>

What they’re saying:<\/p>

<\/div>

27-year-old Patrick Maxey and 28-year-old William Jones pleaded guilty to breaking into Houston Astros player Jose Altuve’s home on March 30, 2023.<\/p>

“One got 25 years, the other 22 years,” said Andy Kahan with Crime Stoppers.<\/p>

While those two spend years in prison, their 28-year-old accomplice, Jordan Tarniella, is not, as he too pleaded guilty last year.<\/p>

“He removes his ankle monitor before he could get sentenced and has been a wanted fugitive since May 2025,” Kahan said.<\/p>

Even though he repeatedly violated his bond conditions, 184th\u00a0Criminal Court Judge Katherine Thomas allowed Tarniella to remain free on bond with an ankle monitor after he plead guilty.<\/p>

Defendants who are found guilty by juries are immediately taken into custody after their sentences are handed down.<\/p>

Altuve was quoted as saying the other two sentenced to 20 plus years should have been given life. He’s probably not happy about their accomplice pleading guilty and running off to freedom.<\/p>
