Richard Tillman Undergoes Mental Competency Check Before Trial

BREAKING: Richard Tillman, brother of late NFL icon Pat Tillman, appeared in court this morning amid urgent concerns regarding his mental competency before an upcoming arson trial. This shocking incident unfolded after Tillman crashed into a San Jose post office at approximately 3 a.m. on July 23, 2025, leading to his arrest on suspicion of arson and vandalism, according to the Santa Clara County Sheriff’s Office.

Authorities report that the crash ignited a fire that required the efforts of 50 firefighters over the course of an hour and a half to extinguish. In a tense courtroom appearance, Richard Tillman asserted his competence and expressed that he did not require bail, while simultaneously declaring that his attorney was “no longer my lawyer.”

His bail was set at $136,000, but no plea was entered as his defense attorneys raised doubts about his ability to stand trial. The court is scheduled to reconvene in August, where doctors will be assigned to evaluate his mental state.

In a deeply concerning twist, Richard Tillman reportedly livestreamed the incident on social media, which his brother, Kevin Tillman, has described as showcasing his “altered self.” Kevin emphasized the family’s relief that no one was harmed and acknowledged the ongoing struggles Richard faces with severe mental health issues.

“Our family is aware that my brother Richard has been arrested,” Kevin stated in an official release. “To be clear, it’s no secret that Richard has been battling severe mental health issues for many years. Securing the proper care and support for him has proven incredibly difficult – or rather, impossible.”

The Tillman family is currently in communication with local authorities to provide context regarding Richard’s condition. Kevin expressed their intent to support his brother while underscoring the family’s relief over the lack of physical injuries in this alarming incident.

UPDATE: The court’s decision regarding Richard Tillman’s competency assessment will be pivotal in determining the next steps in this developing case. As this story unfolds, the implications for mental health awareness and support are becoming increasingly apparent.

Stay tuned for updates on this urgent situation as more details emerge.
