When they violate the law like anyone else.
Added: The only time they are immune from arrest is when Congress is in session and they are actually on the floor of their respective chamber (House or Senate).
This is not true under all circumstances. Congresspersons are arrested from time to time. There is only one situation that I know of where a congressperson cannot be arrested, and I think it has something to do with the congressperson being on his/her way to a session, or maybe to a vote. Of course, this doesn't prevent arrest afterward.
A congressperson represents the citizens who live in the congressperson's district.
