609.72 DISORDERLY CONDUCT.
Subdivision 1. Crime. Whoever does any of the following in a public or private place, including on a school bus, knowing, or having reasonable grounds to know that it will, or will tend to, alarm, anger or disturb others or provoke an assault or breach of the peace, is guilty of disorderly conduct, which is a misdemeanor:
(1) Engages in brawling or fighting; or
(2) Disturbs an assembly or meeting, not unlawful in its character; or
(3) Engages in offensive, obscene, abusive, boisterous, or noisy conduct or in offensive, obscene, or abusive language tending reasonably to arouse alarm, anger, or resentment in others. A person does not violate this section if the person's disorderly conduct was caused by an epileptic seizure.

Perhaps the good Senator was simply experiencing a bout of epilepsy with the foot-tapping and stall-stroking.

Were I Senator Craig right now, I'd be studying the video of Jim McGreevey's "I am a gay American" speech.

with the foot-tapping and stall-stroking

The Senator agreed he tapped a foot.

He did not agree he stroked a stall.

In fact, he denied it emphatically.

Reading this says that if a person flips you off or swears, you could be arrested for Disorcerly Conduct. Almost everyone could be arrested under this statute at some time in their life.
