US EditionVideo captures Rhode Island prosecutor warning officers will 'regret this' as she's arrested at restaurant
Devon Hogan Flanagan, an assistant attorney general with seven years of service, was charged with willful trespass after refusing to leave a Newport restaurant despite multiple warnings.
- Rhode Island Assistant Attorney General Devon Flanagan and her friend were arrested for trespassing on August 14 outside the Clarke Cooke House restaurant in Newport.
- The arrests followed repeated refusals to leave after restaurant staff asked them 13 times, with Flanagan challenging officers and demanding that body cameras be turned off.
- Body camera footage shows Flanagan warning officers, saying, "You're going to regret this," repeatedly stating her position, resisting arrest, and kicking the cruiser door while handcuffed.
- Flanagan, who has been with the Attorney General’s Office for seven years, is facing legal action related to allegations of entering a property without permission, causing a public disturbance, and opposing arrest, while the office has initiated a review of the situation expected to be completed shortly.
- The Attorney General's Office declined further comment due to personnel matters, and the incident remains under investigation without any confirmed policy requiring officers to turn off body cameras upon citizen request.
