Larry Craig (R-ID)

A US Senator for 18 years, Craig was apprehended and arrested on June 11, 2007, with a charge of lewd conduct in a men's restroom at the International Airport in Minneapolis-St. Paul. He did plead guilty to the lesser charge of disorderly conduct, but changed his mind and tried to revoke the guilty plea. He announced his resignation three months later on September 1, 2007, but changed his mind again, although he did not seek re-election in 2008.
