Men of Honor and The Hate U Give director George Tillman's Tennessee home was allegedly ransacked and priceless films were stolen while he was hospitalized for pneumonia.
Tillman's brother, Kevin Tillman, 65, was arrested Friday for aggravated burglary in connection with the alleged incident carried out in May.
It's unclear if he entered a plea to the charge.
Tillman alleged when he returned to his Memphis, Tennessee, home after a nearly two-week hospital stay, multiple items had been stolen or destroyed, including several thousand dollars worth or jewelry and furniture. Also missing were various short films.
"You can't put a price on those scripts," Tillman, 55, said, according to WREG-TV. "One of my films, you can't put a price on it. Ain't no telling how much money it's valued at."
"I was trying to bring my mattress back in the house, and he was coming up the street," Tillman explained. "I looked at his feet and he had on my brand new white Nike shoes, and I said 'We can't do that. You gotta pull off my clothes and my shoes man.'"
The elder Tillman allegedly told concerned neighbors he was removing "contaminated" items from his brother's home while he was away.
"Yeah that's where he had everybody fooled," Tillman added. "Man, when I got back to this house I couldn't believe it. I said this isn't cleaning up man, this is rambling. You rambled through my things and destroyed my things. When I see him, all he can do is tell me where my stuff is."
The Kevin Tillman is due in court Tuesday.
