Cop's account of what occurred in the bathroom

Published August 29, 2007 at midnight

Sgt. Dave Karsnia went into a stall shortly after noon on June 11 and closed the door.

Minutes later, the officer said he saw Craig gazing into his stall through the crack between the door and the frame.

After a man in the adjacent stall left, Craig entered it and positioned his luggage so the crack was blocked.

Craig then tapped his right foot several times and moved it closer to Karsnia's stall and then moved it to where it touched Karsnia's foot.

Karsnia recognized that "as a signal often used by persons communicating a desire to engage in sexual conduct."

Craig then passed his left hand under the stall divider into Karsnia's stall with his palm up and guided it along the divider toward the front of the stall three times.

The officer then showed his police identification under the divider and pointed toward the exit "at which time the defendant exclaimed 'No!' "
