Richard Tillman, brother of late NFL star and Army Ranger Pat Tillman, was arrested following a cᴀr crash.

Tillman was arrested after allegedly crashing his cᴀr into a San Jose post office and starting a fire while live-streaming. No injuries were reported.

Police in San Jose, California, arrested Richard after they stated he allegedly drove his vehicle into a US post office around 3 AM on the 6500 block of Crown Boulevard, sparking a fire that spread throughout the building.

Richard was taken into custody and booked at Santa Clara County Jail, where he is being held without bail. No formal charges had been filed as of Sunday afternoon.

Richard Tillman, a stand-up comedian and actor, gained public attention in 2004 after delivering a passionate speech at his brother’s funeral.

“He’s not with God. He’s f–king dead. He’s not religious,” Richard said then. “So thanks for your thoughts, but he’s f–king dead.”

He has also appeared in films like The Day the Earth Stood Still (2008) and written a series of children’s books.

Police in San Jose, California, have arrested Richard Tillman, the younger brother of late NFL star and US Army Ranger Pat Tillman.

Pat Tillman played safety for the Arizona Cᴀrdinals before he famously left the NFL in 2002 to enlist in the US Army after 9/11. As an Army Ranger, he served in Iraq and Afghanistan.

Unfortunately, in 2004, Tillman was tragically killed in a friendly fire incident in eastern Afghanistan, which only came to light after early reports falsely cited enemy combatants.

In 2007, the Pentagon ruled that Tillman’s death was accidental.

Tillman was posthumously awarded the Silver Star, Purple Heart, and other honors. The Pac-10’s Defensive Player of the Year Award now bears his name.

Davina McCall, 56, announced in November she’d been diagnosed with a colloid cyst, a rare type of benign brain tumour, and has supported Fearne.

She continued: ‘Everyone needs a Davina. She’s been amazing, weird that we had the same health thing going on at the same time. She’s so calming and we speak every day. She is just the best

Scott, who has known Fearne for 25 years, said he has never seen her ‘more positive or happier’, prompting Fearne to agree and reply: ‘Yeah I feel great!’
