The son of “real housewife of Salt Lake City” Star Mary Cosby was arrested and accused of attacks and trespassing last week, according to court records.

Court documents say Cosby also tried to break into her stepfather’s house through a dog’s door on Sunday. Cosby’s wife lives in the house.

Cosby was taken to the Salt Lake County Jail, court records show. He was released Wednesday after posting $5,000 in bonds.
