I sincerely apologize for spitting in officer’s food

I believe the time has come for a well-deserved apology. I now realize the total disregard for the rights of others was the cause of my actions that night. By spitting in Lt. Morgan’s food, I made a very serious mistake. That act was stupid, reckless and very immature.

I believe this mistake has caused much unnecessary strife for both Lt. Morgan and our community. I would like to formally apologize to Waffle House, the citizens of my hometown and most importantly, both the Warren County Police Department and Lt. Morgan.

It is not just my criminal charges that cause this apologetic attitude. I acted without thinking when I made the careless decision to spit in Officer Morgan’s food. I have learned the hard way revenge is just not an option. My actions have not only hurt me but they have hurt others I care about. I am trying to understand why I acted in that manner and am currently working to improve my attitude and action so next time I will be able to think before I act and hopefully avoid these types of situations.

I totally understand and agree with the opinions of the public in their belief that what I did was wrong. People should not have to worry about whether their meal is being tampered with behind closed doors, or in my case, right out in the open. These are simply concerns that the average restaurant patron should not have to worry about. I would like to apologize to Waffle House, for my actions have surely affected the company in an adverse way, which I did not intend.

Unfortunately, it is often much more difficult to change public opinion than to create it and I know that it will be difficult for those affected to accept my apology. I hope in time they can and I am going to try hard to improve myself as a person. I have already finished my work on my high school diploma at the Warren County High School annex and hope to attend college if possible, either spring or fall semester of this coming year. I believe continuing my education will also help get my life back in order.
