US Senator arrest police report

Saturday, September 1st, 2007

Something is awry with this police report:

According to a police report, Sen Craig entered a cubicle next to the undercover policeman and tapped his foot in a way that the officer recognised as a sign of “a desire to engage in sexual conduct”.

Sen Craig then gestured under the cubicle divider, at which point the police officer identified himself and arrested him.

For reasons that I believe deserve further investigation, the text reads just as sensibly as follows:

According to a police report, Sen Craig entered a cubicle next to the undercover policeman and tapped his foot in a way that the officer recognised as a sign of “a desire for a toilet paper roll“.

Sen Craig then gestured under the cubicle divider, at which point the police officer identified himself and arrested him.
