Craig called the MN Airport Police a week later to obtain the police report and assigned court date, as well as the name and phone number of the Asst. District Attorney in charge of the case. He told two distinct police officers that he needed the information for his “legal counsel”. When he obtained that information he said “that’s just what I need”.

It’s absolutely certain that Craig had, at the very least, considered going to a lawyer and was getting the information needed for that.

Officer Snedker: “Craig told me he needs a contact so that his lawyer can speak to someone…”

Officer Karsnia ” Craig demanded the information for the law firm…”

I just read the police report and the cop describes that Craig was wearing a gold ring when he was “fingering” the bottom of the stall. Later in the report Craig is reported to say that he “could not remove ring from left ring finger” What’s the point of that and why would the cop note it?</p> Got a question.
