Brother of NFL Hero Pat Tillman Arrested After California Post Office Crash

Richard Tillman, brother of NFL player-turned-Army Ranger Pat Tillman, was arrested early Sunday morning after crashing his vehicle into a San Jose post office, causing a fire that heavily damaged the building. He reportedly live-streamed the crash and made erratic statements during the incident, prompting an arson investigation by local authorities. No injuries were reported, and Richard Tillman was taken into custody and held without bail, with a court date set for July 23. Pat Tillman famously left his NFL career to serve in the U.S. Army Rangers following the 9/11 attacks and was killed in Afghanistan in 2004 by friendly fire, a fact initially concealed by the Pentagon. Authorities are still investigating the cause of the fire, with cooperation between the San Jose Police Department, Fire Department, and U.S. Postal Inspectors. Richard Tillman’s recent actions have brought renewed attention to the Tillman family’s complicated legacy.
