Patterson, 30, refused to speak to officers when they went to interview him at Metro West Detention Center, police said.
The victim told police that he'd put two Smith & Wesson M&P Sport AR-15 rifles and a black Ruger 1911, totaling $2,850 in value, inside a black bag in the trunk of his car at about 1:30 p.m. June 12.
When the victim returned to his vehicle at about 3 a.m. the next day, the items were missing.
Patterson was arrested on charges of burglary of an occupied conveyance, three counts of grand theft and three counts of possession of a firearm by a convicted felon.
He has previously been convicted of burglary and was on probation for battery at the time of the burglary in Brickell, police said.
