The Smoking Gun has the cop’s report up.

‘Craig stood in front of the stalls for 2 minutes waiting for an open stall.’
Something I think everyone that has to ‘go’ will do.

Craig “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”.

This is simply ridiculous. There is only one place to put your bags while in a toilet stall and that is in front of the stall! There is no other place to put one’s bags. This reduces the credibility of the cop’s story. It looks like he is trying to paint a picture using common behavior.

The rest of the story spells problems for Craig. However, with a good lawyer I would think he could easily get out of this. He may very well be guilty but the evidence here seems thin. Bags in a certain location, shifting feet and waiting for a stall can all be explained away as normal behavior. Having taken a few thousand dumps in my years, I can say I have done all of these things. Can’t explain away rubbing a hand under the stall and touching feet (a definite toilet no-no). But does that warrant a charge of lewd conduct?

Time to hire a good lawyer Craig and hope you don’t get outted. Either that or just come clean and deal with the consequences.

He plead guilty to a misdemeanor of disorderly conduct. He was in a restroom known to be a place for soliciting gay sex. He was outted as gay on a gay website last October.

OH for heaven’s sake. The reason he plead guilty was because he was.
There are other reports of his doing this kindo f thing.. Back when Foley was sent packing the blogs mentioned Craig.
Just deal with it.
