Craig Arrested, Pleads Guilty Following Incident in Airport Restroom: Senator Larry Craig (R-Idaho) was arrested in June at a Minnesota airport by a plainclothes police officer investigating lewd conduct complaints in a men’s public restroom. The plainclothes police officer Sgt. Dave Karsnia entered one of the men's restroom in the Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport on 11th June.
