Rhode Island’s Special Assistant Attorney General, Devon Hogan Flanagan, was hauled off in handcuffs following a drunken meltdown in Newport, and her future remains uncertain.
The Gateway Pundit previously reported that Flanagan, a Democrat-appointed prosecutor, was arrested after refusing to leave the upscale Clarke Cooke House restaurant and berating responding officers while flaunting her government “status.”
Bodycam footage obtained by parental rights activist Nicole Solas shows the entitled Flanagan berating officers, desperately clinging to her job title like it was a “get out of jail free” card.
“I’M AN AG!” Flanagan shrieked eleven times while resisting arrest, even threatening officers saying, “Buddy, you’re gonna regret this.”

Rhode Island’s Democrat Attorney General Peter Neronha (D) announced on local radio that Flanagan will face a suspension without pay.
“Look, she’s put me in a bad position. She’s embarrassed herself, humiliated herself, and treated the Newport Police Department horribly. She is going to take some steps to try to address that in the next day or so. But I just don’t know what I’m going to do yet, Jean, and I have to give it some more thought.”
“But the inexcusable behavior—she knows better. The office knows better. I’ve got 110 lawyers. She embarrassed all of them, in a sense. I haven’t had many issues like this while I’ve been attorney general, though I’ve had a few. I want to get some more information, frankly, about what’s going on with her before I make my final decision.”

While Flanagan was placed on paid leave directly after the incident, according to Fox News Digital, Flanagan will go on unpaid leave starting Monday.
It is unclear how long Flanagan will remain on unpaid leave until a final determination is made on her employment. The Attorney General’s office did not respond to additional questions about its ongoing review of the matter, or when it might make a final decision.
State payroll records, according to the Boston Globe, show that Flanagan was raking in approximately $113,000 a year in her position as a Special Assistant Attorney General.
