Max Wade’s Parole Revoked Over Cellphone | San Francisco News

About this episode

Max Wade, the teen who stole Guy Fieri’s Lamborghini and nearly got away with murder, is back behind bars after his parole was revoked—this time for secretly using a cellphone in prison. Originally set to walk free in December 2028, Wade’s release was undone after a September 2026 hearing, where the parole board cited the violation as grounds for revocation. At just sixteen, Wade pulled off the flashy heist in San Francisco and later convicted for shooting an 18-year-old linked to a romantic entanglement. Now serving time at San Quentin since 2013, he’s still eligible for another hearing in January—but freedom isn’t happening anytime soon.

It's September 6th. I'm Cory with the story, and this is San Francisco News today. Your AI-powered local news. So Max Wade, the dude who snatched Guy Fieri's Lamborghini back in the day, was supposed to get out. He was serving 20 years to life for that car theft and an attempted murder charge. The parole board had actually greenlit his release with a potential exudate in December of 2028, but here's the twist that parole grant Jessica Yankt. Apparently, Wade was caught with a cell phone behind bars, which is a major no-no in the joint. This discovery led to a hearing this past Tuesday, September 8th, 2026, where the board officially rescinded his earlier parole. Decision. Remember, Wade was just 16 when he pulled off that audacious Lamborghini heist in San Francisco. He later got convicted for shooting an 18-year-old and mill valley. The victim was apparently connected to someone Wade had been trying to date. Now because of the cell phone incident, Wade's freedom is on hold.

He's been locked up at San Quentin since his conviction in 2013. The good news for him, I guess, is that he's still eligible for another parole hearing, which is scheduled for January. So while he won't be cruising out anytime soon, the possibility of him facing the parole board again is still on the table. We'll have to see what happens when that next hearing rolls around.
