Actions were regrettable

EDITOR:

Please note that I am no longer chairman of the Douglas County Democratic Central Committee. I resigned my post after my regrettable actions. This incident should in no way reflect the ideals of the DCDCC, and I am mortified to have brought any disgraceful association to this organization.

I also want to clarify that I was not angry with my son for being kicked off the soccer team. It was frustration over a series of incidents with the coaches in a two week span.

That does not in any way excuse my actions. I apologize publically to my son, my family, to all the people who had to witness my horrible behavior, and to all of Douglas County for the impact that my actions are having on the community. Please understand I am very distraught over the situation I created.

I want to thank all the people who are helping my son and my family through this period. I also want to thank the people who have offered me kind words of encouragement. The Douglas County Sheriff's Office and East Fork Justice EnEarl were extremely professional and kind to me.
