Gary Grana said he was sorry and embarrassed for what happened Dec. 21, when police went to his home on a report he was using a bow and arrow in his yard.

He apologized not only for his lack of control, but that two Lincoln police officers were injured.

"It's just not the way I was raised," said the 33-year-old, whose arrest caused a stir on the web after his wife posted a video of part of it on YouTube.

His attorney, Douglas Kerns, said Grana had come a long way since that day and knew now he did not respond appropriately.

He said it was a situation that could have been handled better on both sides, and that Grana regretted his temper that day.

"He certainly didn't intend to comply, but he didn't intend to injure the officers," Kerns said.

Grana, who pleaded no contest to misdemeanor assault and resisting arrest, asked for probation. The state opposed it, and, in the end, so did the judge.

Deputy Lancaster County Attorney Amy Jacobsen said when Grana got probation on a domestic assault in Oregon five years ago, he got out of jail and walked without doing a day of it.

There's no indication he would do anything different this time, she said.
