If I get arrested for Disorderly Conduct (i.e. lewd conduct) and I know I wasn't trying to do anything lewd, I'd be damned if I plead guilty. Craig can say all he wants about how he plead guilty just to resolve it quickly, but I'm willing to bet he was hoping his arrest and subsequent prosecution would get swept under the rug.
