Gary Lauck, a Lincoln man who spent four years in a German jail for spreading pro-Nazi information, turned himself into Lancaster Sheriff's deputies just before 2 p.m. Thursday on an outstanding warrant, Lancaster County Attorney Gary Lacey said.
A Lincoln judge issued a warrant for Lauck's arrest Monday after he lied in June on a gun-permit application.
Lauck circled "No" next to a question asking him if he had ever been convicted in any court of a crime punishable by more than one year, Lancaster County Court documents said.
Lauck's attorney, Kirk Wolgamott, arranged for the 46-year-old's surrender, Lacey said.
Lauck was arrested, arraigned and released on a $10,000 bond before 7 p.m. Thursday.
He faces up to five years in prison and a $10,000 fine. Judge Jack Lindner scheduled Lauck to appear for a preliminary hearing Dec. 1.
Lauck told the judge he was not sure if he could afford to hire a lawyer for the hearing, adding that his personal finances were "wiped out" by legal costs.
While visiting a neo-Nazi rally in Denmark, Lauck was arrested and extradited to Germany on a warrant of spreading pro-Nazi and anti-Jew information.
He was convicted and spent four years in European prisons.
He was released from German prison March 19 and returned to the United States.
