According to the incident report, Sgt. Dave Karsnia was working as a
plainclothes officer on June 11 investigating civilian complaints
regarding sexual activity in the men's public restroom in which Craig
was arrested.
Airport police previously had made numerous arrests in the men's
restroom of the Northstar Crossing in the Lindbergh Terminal in
connection with sexual activity.
Karsnia entered the bathroom at noon that day and about 13 minutes
after taking a seat in a stall, he stated he could see "an older white
male with grey hair standing outside my stall."
The man, who lingered in front of the stall for two minutes, was later
identified as Craig.
"I could see Craig look through the crack in the door from his
position. Craig would look down at his hands, 'fidget' with his
fingers, and then look through the crack into my stall again. Craig
would repeat this cycle for about two minutes," the report states.
Craig then entered the stall next to Karsnia's and placed his roller
bag against the front of the stall door.
"My experience has shown that individuals engaging in lewd conduct use
their bags to block the view from the front of their stall," Karsnia
stated in his report. "From my seated position, I could observe the
shoes and ankles of Craig seated to the left of me."
Craig was wearing dress pants with black dress shoes.
"At 1216 hours, Craig tapped his right foot. I recognized this as a
signal used by persons wishing to engage in lewd conduct. Craig tapped
his toes several times and moves his foot closer to my foot. I moved
my foot up and down slowly. While this was occurring, the male in the
stall to my right was still present. I could hear several unknown
persons in the restroom that appeared to use the restroom for its
intended use. The presence of others did not seem to deter Craig as he
moved his right foot so that it touched the side of my left foot which
was within my stall area," the report states.
Craig then proceeded to swipe his hand under the stall divider several
times, and Karsnia noted in his report that "I could ... see Craig had
a gold ring on his ring finger as his hand was on my side of the stall
divider."
Karsnia then held his police identification down by the floor so that
Craig could see it.
"With my left hand near the floor, I pointed towards the exit. Craig
responded, 'No!' I again pointed towards the exit. Craig exited the
stall with his roller bags without flushing the toilet. ... Craig said
he would not go. I told Craig that he was under arrest, he had to go,
and that I didn't want to make a scene. Craig then left the restroom."
In a recorded interview after his arrest, Craig "either disagreed with
me or 'didn't recall' the events as they happened," the report states.
Craig stated "that he has a wide stance when going to the bathroom and
that his foot may have touched mine," the report states. Craig also
told the arresting officer that he reached down with his right hand to
pick up a piece of paper that was on the floor.
"It should be noted that there was not a piece of paper on the
bathroom floor, nor did Craig pick up a piece of paper," the arresting
officer said in the report.
On Aug. 8, the day he pleaded guilty to disorderly conduct in the
Minnesota court, Craig appeared via satellite at a ceremony that took
place in Idaho in which former Idaho federal Judge Randy Smith was
invested into his new position as a judge on the 9th U.S. Circuit
Court of Appeals.

What IS the deal with these guys? I always take polite propositions
from either men or women as a compliment, as long as when I indicate
that I'm not interested, the person doesn't persist, but I would not
want to be propositioned in a restroom stall, nor want to have sex
with anyone in a restroom.
Craig is publicly anti-gay. Apparently in Craig's world, it would be
wrong for this gay couple I know who have been all but married for
many years to get married, but it is OK for Craig himself to solicit a
casual homosexual encounter in a public restroom.
