Late NFL star Stanley Wilson Jr. tragic life: Arrests, injury, mental illnesses

Former NFL player Stanley Wilson Jr. has had a copious history of arrests and burglary.

The late athlete, who died earlier this month after collapsing in a mental hospital, retired from football after a grim injury in 2008.

Since then, he had been on the grid of law-abiding authorities for multiple transgressions and defiance.

He was first arrested in 2016 for trying to break into a Southwest Portland residence while naked. He was also shot in the abdomen by the police.

He was sentenced to 10 days in jail and was ordered a three-year probation and mandatory drug treatment.

In 2017, he was arrested again in Portland for allegedly walking around a neighborhood naked.

According to LAPD, Stanley was once again charged with burglary into a $30 million property in Hollywood Hills on two occasions.

During his second break-in, TMZ reported, the late footballer took a bath in the fountain outside the property.

However, he was shortly deemed mentally incompetent to stand trial by the prosecutors and hence, sent to a psychiatric hospital where he collapsed and died.
