Mary Cosby‘s son, Robert Cosby Jr., was arrested on Saturday and hit with a number of charges, including assault and trespassing.
Just days before the 52-year-old Real Housewives of Salt Lake City cast member hinted that her son, whom she shares with husband Robert Cosby, was no longer sober, Robert Jr. was taken into custody after an alleged attempted break-in and fight at the home of his father-in-law.
According to an arrest report obtained by TMZ on September 11, police responded to a call outside of Salt Lake City, Utah, which claimed Robert Jr. had tried to gain access to the home, presumably that of his wife Alexiana’s dad, through a dog door before assaulting someone in the front yard.
After first refusing to do as the police ordered and get on the ground, Robert Jr. complied and was taken into custody, where he was dealt with several charges, including failing to stop at the command of law enforcement, criminal trespassing, and assault.
He was also accused of three violations of a past court order, as his bail was set at $5,000.
As RHOSLC fans may recall, Robert Jr. was arrested for DUI in 2022 and later found himself back in trouble with the law when he allegedly failed to prove he completed a court-ordered rehab stay pertaining to the case. However, after an emotional conversation on season five about his addiction to pills, Mary said at the reunion that Robert Jr. had gone to rehab and was doing “good.”
Days prior to her son’s arrest, Mary admitted her son was on a “hardcore road.”
“He’s doing as good as he can. It’s his journey,” Mary shared on Tuesday’s episode of SiriusXM’s Reality Checked. “You can’t do it if your mind’s not made up. And I can’t make it up for him. I can just only push him, encourage him, and love him. And that’s what I’m doing. And that’s kind of where we are.”
“But he’s still on that road, and it’s a hardcore road,” she admitted. “It’s tough to watch as a mom. It’s hurtful to see his dad is most of the time devastated. But at the same time, I have hope and I believe in him.”
The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City season six premieres on Tuesday, September 16, at 8/7c on Bravo.
