Bodycam footage captures the moments leading to the arrest of Rhode Island State Prosecutor Devon Hogan Flanagan for trespassing and other charges. Throughout the encounter, she persistently asserted her authority as an "AG" to the arresting officers, ominously warning them that they would "regret" taking her into custody.The incident unfolded on August 14 outside the Clarke Cook House restaurant when officers from the Newport Police Department responded to reports of an "unwanted party." Staff members indicated that Flanagan and her companion, Veronica Hannan, had been asked to leave the premises thirteen times. Flanagan’s insistence that officers turn off their body cameras, as per Newport Police protocols, added tension. Caught on video, her protests escalated, and as she was taken into custody, she reiterated, “I’m an AG.” Hannan's arrest resulted in a more dramatic struggle, highlighted by her resistance and refusal to comply. Both were charged with trespassing, disorderly conduct, and resisting arrest, prompting an internal review by the Rhode Island Attorney General’s Office. (Photo: Body camera video screenshot)
