Jury acquits man caught in Larry Craig sting

MINNEAPOLIS—A Minneapolis man arrested in the same airport bathroom sex sting that netted U.S. Senator Larry Craig has been acquitted.

Thirty-nine-year-old Vince Tuzon used a similar argument to Craig in pleading not guilty. Tuzon claimed he wasn’t guilty because the police officer initiated the foot-tapping.

A Hennepin County jury agreed with Tuzon.

His lawyer says Tuzon feels he was set up after being “essentially bombarded with overtures” while in the bathroom.

A Metropolitan Airports Commission spokesman says they were “disappointed” with the verdict.

Craig was arrested June 11th in the same operation. The Idaho senator first pleaded guilty, but is trying withdraw that plea.
