Breaking News - Idaho Sen. Larry Craig Arrested After Incident in Men’s Bathroom By Courtney Lowery, 8-27-07 Idaho Sen. Larry Craig was arrested in June by a police officer investigating lewd conduct in a men’s bathroom in Minnesota, Roll Call is reporting. According to the Roll Call report, which you can read here, Craig pleaded guilty Aug. 8 to misdemeanor disorderly conduct in the Hennepin County District Court after being arrested in June by a plainclothes police officer. The officer was investigating lewd conduct complaints in a men’s public restroom at a Minnesota airport when Craig was arrested. (Registration is required for Roll Call, but you can read an excerpt of the story at the Real Clear Politics blog as well.) A spokesperson for the Senator tells Roll Call the incident was a “he said/he said misunderstanding.” Craig’s office is expected to release a full statement later this afternoon. We’ll have more as the story unfolds. Craig has been the subject of speculation over the last year after accusations surfaced that he had affairs with a men, but he has denied all claims, as pointed out in this NewWest.Net/Boise story from last October. Craig has not said whether he will seek reelection, and news of the arrest could influence his decision and the fate of a seat that has long been considered solidly Republican.
