The only sitting US Senator that's on probation for a year: Senator Pleads Guilty August 27, 2007 5:39 PM blogs.abcnews.com ABC News' Z. Byron Wolf reports: Senator Larry Craig, R-Idaho, was arrested in June and plead guilty on August 8 to a misdemeanor charge of disorderly conduct stemming from an incident of lewd behavior in the men's public restroom at the Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport. In a court document obtained by ABC News, Craig agreed to pay a $575 fees and a $1,000 fine and was sentenced 10 days at the Hennepin County work and one year of unsupervised probation. But in a statement released late Monday by Craig's office, the Senator expressed regret for entering the guilty plea. "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," read the Senator's 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 concluded. Roll Call, a Capitol Hill news publication, originally reported the exclusive story found here. A spokesperson for the Senator Craig originally described the incident to Roll Call as a "he said/he said misunderstanding".
