A man pleaded guilty in federal court Thursday to four charges of misconduct in national parks, including a now-infamous incident of aggressively provoking a bison. 
 
 Raymond Reinke, 55, was arrested in early August after video surfaced of the incident where he waves his arms and runs toward a bison. 
 
 The National Park Service says the Oregon man had several run-ins with law enforcement in Yellowstone and Grand Teton national parks in the weeks leading up to his arrest, including open container and public intoxication. He was also cited for disturbing wildlife after the bison video surfaced online in late July. 
 
 Reinke initially pleaded not guilty to the charges, but changed his plea during Thursday's hearing to guilty. He was originally charged with five misdemeanors, but had his charges reduced to four in exchange for his guilty plea. 
 
 Judge Mark Carman sentenced Reinke to 60 days in jail on the charge of harassing wildlife for the bison incident, plus 60 days for interfering with law enforcement and 10 days for disorderly conduct, for 130 days total in jail, with credit for 21 days served. 
 
 Reinke has also publicly described himself as an alcoholic. 
 
 In court Thursday, Reinke apologized to the bison, saying - "I'm sorry to the buffalo. He didn't deserve what I did to him. I'm sorry, I really didn't mean to hurt that buffalo." 
 
 Judge Carman said, "You chased and hounded the bison. You're lucky the bison didn't take care of it, and you're standing in front of me." 
 
 Reinke has a criminal history dating to 1991, although no felony offenses. 
 
 A federal prosecutor and Carman described Reinke's behavior as the most "egregious" case of animal harassment they'd seen in Yellowstone. 
 
 Judge Carman also emphasized that the viral video of Reinke's actions did not affect the sentencing decisions. 
 
 Reinke will also be required to serve five years of unsupervised probation, in which he cannot use drugs or alcohol. He's required to go through drug and alcohol treatment. He is also barred from Yellowstone, Glacier and Grand Teton parks during his probationary period.

 BOZEMAN, Mont. (AP) — An Oregon man who said he and his buddy were on a "last hurrah" tour through national parks before he entered alcohol treatment was sentenced Thursday to 130 days in jail for his drunken behavior, including harassing a bison that had stopped traffic in Yellowstone National Park. 
 
 Raymond Reinke's crimes drew national attention when at least one Yellowstone visitor caught his interaction with a bison on video . 
 
 Reinke, of Pendleton, Oregon, pleaded guilty during a federal court appearance in Mammoth, Wyoming, where cases from Yellowstone park are heard. 
 
 U.S. Magistrate Judge Mark Carman sentenced him to 60 days in jail for harassing wildlife, 60 days for interfering with law enforcement and 10 days for disorderly conduct. He was given credit for 21 days served. 
 
 Reinke, 55, is banned from Grand Teton, Yellowstone and Glacier national parks for a five-year probationary period during which he is not allowed to drink alcohol. His planned chemical dependency treatment is now court-ordered. 
 
 "I'm sorry to the buffalo. He didn't deserve what I did to him," Reinke said, ABC Fox Montana reported. 
 
 U.S. Attorney Leo Pico described Reinke's behavior as the "most egregious" case of animal harassment he'd seen in Yellowstone. 
 
 The judge told Reinke: "You're lucky the bison didn't take care of it, and you're standing in front of me." 
 
 Reinke was first cited for public intoxication and interfering with law enforcement in Grand Teton National Park on July 28. He spent a night in jail before posting a $500 bond. 
 
 A few days later in Yellowstone, Reinke got in trouble after getting out of the car to see if there was a way he could help clear a traffic jam. 
 
 When he saw the bison on the road he decided to try to herd it off, the Bozeman Daily Chronicle reported. 
 
 "I thought I was doing what was appropriate," Reinke said. "I just didn't think. That's my stupidity." 
 
 In the viral video, Reinke is seen walking up to a bison waving his arms. The animal charges him a couple times, but he was not injured. Yellowstone National Park regulations require people to stay 25 yards (23 meters) away from bison. 
 
 He was cited for intentionally disturbing wildlife and having an open container of alcohol, but rangers were unaware of the conditions of his bond, which required him to remain law-abiding and avoid alcohol. 
 
 However, Reinke had mentioned his next stop was Glacier National Park. When officials put the whole story together a judge revoked Reinke's bond in the Grand Teton case and rangers arrested him in Glacier park on Aug. 3. Officials say he was causing a disturbance there, as well, but he was not cited.
