A 24-year-old East Palo Alto man was sentenced to a year in jail and three years probation for attacking his grandfather and police with a stick last year at his grandparents home, prosecutors said Friday.

Alex Jaimezcarranza started banging on a door to his grandparents' East Palo Alto home at about 3:30 p.m. Dec. 4 screaming among other things that his grandmother killed his cousin.

Then he picked up a 5-foot long stick and tried to strike them with it. Jaimezcarranza hit his grandfather in the head and forearm before a neighbor stopped him.

Police were called and when officers arrived they found Jaimecarranza in the street with a stick and a pipe.

Jaimezcarranza said to officers "Shoot me! I want you to shoot me! I want to die!" according to prosecutors.
