Dear Editor,

This is a public letter of apology to Officer Joe Bumbaugh.

Officer Bumbaugh, I’m writing this to apologize for my behavior on the day of my arrest.

I’m sorry for all my actions. There is no excuse for what I did, and if I could go back and do it all over again, I would, and I would do what was right.

I’m sorry about your handcuffs.

I wasn’t thinking clearly, but now that I am, I’m very sorry. I definitely learned from this.
