Sen. Larry Craig of Idaho was arrested by a plainclothes police officer investigating complaints of lewd conduct in the men's public restroom at the Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport, according to a police report cited by the Capitol Hill newspaper Roll Call.
In a carefully worded statement, Craig gave no details of the incident that prompted his arrest on June 11 but confirmed that he had pleaded guilty to disorderly conduct.
"At the time of this incident, I complained to the police that they were misconstruing my actions. I was not involved in any inappropriate conduct," Craig said in a statement.
"I should have had the advice of counsel in resolving this matter. In hindsight, I should not have pled guilty. I was trying to handle this matter myself quickly and expeditiously."
Craig, a married father of three, paid more than $500 in fines and fees related to the misdemeanor charge and was given one year of probation, Roll Call reported.
According to the police report, Craig entered a bathroom stall next to the police investigator, placed his bag against the front of the door and tapped his foot in a gesture commonly used to try to pick up men in public toilets.
"I recognized this as a signal used by persons wishing to engage in lewd conduct," Roll Call wrote, quoting the investigator in the police incident report.

ANOTHER REPUBLICAN CLOSET CASE!!!
How many are there?! They are running neck and neck with Catholic priest! Both try to make regular Gay's and Lesbian's lives a living hell. Yet they love the taste of dick in their mouths! And even worse! These Republicans go home and kiss their wives with that same nasty mouth! They disgust me so much. They are lower than dirt! This party of high morals and values has been a fucking joke! Republicans are a bunch of hypocrites, two faced, bastards!
Scandal after Republican scandal. They make what Bill Clinton did with Monica look like he was just brushing his teeth! These God loving freaks are going need another party to vote for because their Recons are pissing on the flag and the bible at the same time!
