Heres what CricBuzz says about him.
He played only 28 Tests in the period but had some memorable outings, like the career best 5 for 24 against India in 1987-88, bowling them out in just over 30 overs. However, his best spell came against Australia in the 1988-89 Boxing Day Test at Melbourne. An angry Patterson, who had stormed into the Australian dressing room and threatened them for bowling short-pitch stuff to him, took 5 wickets in the innings (and 9 in the match) to bowl out Australia for 114 in their chase of 400.
Patterson played for 4 more years but was dropped for disciplinary reasons after the 1992-93 Australian tour. Never to return, the viscous pace machine disappeared from the face of cricket.
He took 93 wickets from 28 Tests at a superb strike rate of around 50, although his average was slightly on the higher side thanks to his attacking nature.
There has been no news about Patterson's whereabouts post his cricketing career. Some say he has landed in a mental asylum as a consequence of acute drug abuse while others believe that he has shifted base to USA.

Wisden overview
It is the stock question for international batsmen. Who is the quickest and nastiest? Graham Gooch did not mind the pace, but he says the only time he has been in fear of his wellbeing was at Sabina Park in February 1986 when, on a grassy pitch, Test debutant Patrick "Patto" Patterson hurtled his inelegant bow-legged way up the hill, thrust his leading leg high, studs at the batsman, stamped down hard enough to measure on the Richter Scale, and, bowling like the devil in front of his home crowd, put the wind up England's finest. He took 4 for 29 on his first day in Tests, 7 for 73 in the match, and for a few years, until his rhythm deserted him (his movement became awkward, and he relied on sheer muscularity), he was as fast as anything in the world and a nasty proposition on pitches offering any pace or lift.
