Mary Cosby’s son, Robert Cosby Jr., is back in legal hot water. The “Real Housewives of Salt Lake City” star’s only child was arrested Saturday outside Salt Lake City, Utah, facing multiple alleged offenses, including assault, criminal trespassing, failure to comply with police, and three violations of a court order, according to an arrest report obtained by TMZ.
Authorities responded to a domestic violence call, alleging that Robert Jr. tried to break into his father-in-law’s home through a dog door and assaulted someone on the front lawn. Police say he initially refused to get on the ground when commanded, before eventually complying and being taken into custody. Bail has been set at $5,000.
A Pattern of Legal Troubles
This is not Robert Jr.’s first run-in with the law. In 2022, he was arrested for a DUI after allegedly driving without a license and disobeying traffic laws. He pleaded guilty to the DUI, resulting in other charges being dropped.
He also faced court scrutiny for allegedly failing to complete a court-ordered rehab program, though Mary Cosby has previously said her son did attend rehab and was doing “good.”
