He is said to have told reporters, Â"Originally, I said I was picking up a piece of paper. But now I confess. I was panhandling. You see, I left my wallet at home.Â"
A reported asked why he changed his story.
Â"To tell you the truth, until now, IÂ've been ashamed to tell the truth. You see, IÂ'd never want anybody to think a US Senator would have to beg for money, especially in an airport restroom. But the truth is, I was hungry, I was broke, and I wanted a Big Mac.Â"
When the arresting officer was informed of the SenatorÂ's new explanation, he said, Â"His hand was definitely in a position where he wanted me to drop something in it. But I didnÂ't hear him say, Â'Brother, can you spare a dime?Â'Â"
