PORTLAND, Ore. – A former Detroit Lions cornerback was shot by a homeowner while allegedly attempting to break into a multi-million dollar home in Portland, Oregon, according to the Multnomah County Sheriff’s Office.
Stanley Wilson II, 33, of Portland played college football at Stanford and played cornerback for the Detroit Lions from 2005-2007.
Deputies found Wilson naked in a water fountain in the homeowner’s backyard. He was taken into custody and to the hospital. He suffered non-life-threatening injuries.
The home is in a high-end Portland neighborhood where two other break-ins have happened in the last few weeks. Neighbors say they were not surprised about the shooting.
The homeowner says he caught Wilson trying to break into his home and shot him.
Wilson’s father, Stanley Wilson Sr., played in the NFL and became notorious after he missed Super Bowl XXIII and was found in a hotel bathroom with cocaine and other drug paraphernalia.
Stanley Wilson II has been accused of first- and second-degree attempted burglary, and first- and second-degree trespassing. The investigation is ongoing and more charges are expected.
