Okay, it’s really, REALLY bugging me, as a lawyer, to see people (particularly people who, as much as I adore them, should know better (including myself!)) discussing the Larry Craig case based on secondary sources rather than primary documents.
The Smoking Gun, of course, delivers.
Here, for instance, is the police report, which describes just what Craig is alleged to have done.
The charge is here.
The plea agreement is here. He pleaded to a DisCon charge, conduct which he knew or should have known would cause “alarm or resentment” (that’s a new one on me) in others, which conduct was physical rather than verbal in nature.

Primary documents are your friends, kids, and the Smoking Gun nearly always has them.
