Pat Tillman's Brother Arrested After Post Office Fire, Charged With Arson
Richard Tillman, brother of the late NFL star and Army hero Pat Tillman, has been arrested following an incident at a San Jose post office. The early morning event resulted in a fire but no injuries. Tillman, who has been battling severe mental health issues for years, is being held on $60,000 bail.
Tillman was taken into custody on charges of arson and is due in court on Wednesday. Investigators are treating the fire as an intentional act and are looking into whether the incident was livestreamed. Tillman allegedly told officers at the scene that he is Pat Tillman's brother and that he had live-streamed the event on a social media platform.
Tillman's family has struggled to get him proper care and support for his mental health issues. They have been unsuccessful in their efforts despite his long-standing battle with mental health problems. Before his 2023 arrest, Tillman's YouTube page, now deleted, reportedly showed a mission to overthrow the government, according to NBC Bay Area.
Tillman's bail is set at $60,000. His mental health history and potential treatment options remain unclear, with no publicly available information or credible sources providing details. The investigation into the incident continues.
