(AP) — A 26-year-old Lincoln man who struggled with officers while holding his 5-week-old son has been given 30 to 48 months in prison.

Eric Stephenson Jr. told a judge on Tuesday that he didn’t intend to harm anyone.

Police say Stephenson holed up in his room at a Lincoln hotel for about 90 minutes on Nov. 2, 2012, after officers and state workers arrived with a court order to take custody of his son. Officer say Stephenson had said they’d have to kill him to get his son.

Officers broke through a window to get into the room and then struggled with Stephenson to pry the boy away from his father.

Stevenson later pleaded no contest to child abuse, and his parental rights were terminated.
