Kevin Tillman, Pat and Richard’s brother, said Richard was “live what, I will call his self -modified on social networks”, which occurred during the accident. Richard told the police at the scene of the accident, which prompted the post office after the car took fire, that he was broadcasting it live.
Richard also told the police that he was Pat Tillman’s brother on the scene.
“Our family is aware that my brother Richard was arrested,” Kevin said in a statement to the NBC Bay region. “First and foremost, we are relieved that no one was physically injured.

It is live, what I will call, his self -modified on social networks so that anyone can witness. Unfortunately, securing care and support appropriate for him should not be incredibly difficult – or rather impossible.
