Brother of late NFL player-turned-war hero Pat Tillman jailed in California post office crash
The family of NFL player-turned-war hero Pat Tillman acknowledged Monday that his brother Richard Tillman was arrested and accused of driving into a California post office Sunday.
No one was injured in the collision at 2:30 a.m. in San Jose, but the crash damaged the building and may have destroyed some mail, San Jose Fire Battalion Chief Josh Staley said.
Richard Tillman, 44, of San Jose, was being held in lieu of $60,000 bail after his arrest Sunday, according to Santa Clara County inmate records. San Jose police said he was arrested on suspicion of arson.
Fire officials said the collision appeared to have sparked a blaze at the post office that was knocked down about 90 minutes after the first reports of the crash.
In a statement to NBC Bay Area on behalf of the Tillman family, Kevin Tillman acknowledged the suspect is his brother Richard Tillman.

According to Kevin, Richard Tillman has been suffering from "severe mental health problems" and "getting care is difficult". Yeah, it is for all of us, Kevin, but we don't drive cars into post offices.
