On Thursday, Lappin told KPIX 5 that he "made a huge mistake."

"I had been drinking too much and a little thing set me off and it really bugged me," he said. "Sometimes I wish they would assimilate more. I hear them playing [Spanish-language] music in the backyard all the time and it doesn't bother me. Because of the day and what July 4th means to me, I felt disrespected."

Celedon told KPIX 5 that she is a third-generation American citizen of Mexican descent, and that one of her families members served in the U.S. military.

Upon hearing this, Lappin further expressed his remorse.

"Those are things I didn't know about them and those are things that make what I did very bad," Lappin said. "[Playing the music of their choice] is the freedom they are afforded by the people who serve this country."

Lappin stated that he plans to apologize to the family in person.
