The Multnomah County Sheriff's Office tells The Oregonian/Oregon Live for a story published Thursday (http://bit.ly/2948mRw ) that Wilson tried to break through the back window of a multimillion-dollar home. He's hospitalized but expected to recover.
Sheriff's Capt. Steve Alexander says he can't give details on the extent of the 33-year-old's injuries or why he was naked and trying to get into the house Wednesday.

Oregon law allows a person to use deadly physical force against someone trying to burglarize their home.
