"You're going to regret it. I'm an A-"
"She mistreated the Newport Police Department and embarrassed herself, the Office, and frankly me,"
"We hold our attorneys to the highest personal and professional standards, and Ms. Flanagan plainly did not meet those standards here."
"I sincerely hope she takes this time to reflect on the seriousness of her conduct and makes corrective changes in her life. She has a long road ahead of her, but I believe that in the long run, our worst moments can inspire us to become better people."
Special Assistant Attorney General Devon Flanagan was arrested on Aug. 14 in Newport on a willful trespassing charge outside a restaurant. Police body-worn camera footage showed the 34-year-old repeatedly demanding officers turn off their cameras and asserting her status, including saying, "You're going to regret it. I'm an AG." Rhode Island Attorney General Peter Neronha reviewed the matter, called the behavior inexcusable, and said Flanagan mistreated the Newport Police Department and embarrassed herself, the Office, and him. Neronha met with Flanagan and placed her on six months of unpaid leave, urging reflection and corrective change.
