Richard Tillman Charged With San Jose Post Office Arson

Richard Tillman, brother of the late NFL player and Army Ranger Pat Tillman, was arrested after intentionally crashing his vehicle into the Almaden Valley Station Post Office on Crown Boulevard in San Jose, causing a fire around 3 a.m. Sunday. Approximately 50 firefighters responded, extinguishing the fire without any reported injuries, though the building and mail inside suffered significant damage. Authorities are investigating the incident as intentional arson, with federal agencies including the ATF and U.S. Postal Inspection Service leading the case. Investigators found spray-painted words at the scene, and Richard Tillman reportedly live-streamed the crash. He is being held without bail and is scheduled to appear in court on Wednesday. The motive is still under investigation, and officials have not disclosed whether impairment was a factor.
