PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) -- A former Detroit Lions cornerback who was shot by a homeowner when authorities say he tried to break in to a multimillion-dollar home in Portland said at a court hearing that he was happy to be alive.
The Oregonian/OregonLive reports (https://is.gd/D5Q0cR ) that Stanley Wilson II was arraigned Thursday on burglary and trespassing charges.
Authorities say Wilson was found naked and wounded in a water fountain in a backyard June 22. The homeowner had shot him in the abdomen.
