The brother of late NFL player and war hero Pat Tillman faces two years in prison after pleading guilty to firebombing a San Jose post office using his car over the summer.
Richard Tillman, 44, drove his vehicle into the post office on Crown Boulevard around 3 a.m. on July 20 that sparked a fire, NBC Bay Area reported.
Police charged Richard — whose family said he struggled with “severe mental issues” — after he spent more than six months in custody.
He pleaded guilty to charges of malicious destruction of government property.
Richard, dressed in an all-yellow prison jumpsuit, was seen smiling while entering his plea.
His since-deleted YouTube page appeared to outline what he described as a mission to bring down the government, ABC7 Eyewitness News reported. In a July 15, 2025 video, he declared that he was going to “take down the whole system” — including the US and what he referred to as the world government.
