Rhode Island assistant AG placed on unpaid leave

Published



Devon Hogan Flanagan, a special assistant attorney general in Rhode Island who was caught on video berating police officers trying to remove her from a restaurant after she was asked to leave, has been placed on unpaid leave for six months.

Flanagan was repeatedly heard shouting at police officers, “I’m an AG” and “You’re going to regret this,” in a video clip that has since gone viral. Flanagan and her friend, Veronica Hannan, were asked to leave Clarke Cooke House in Newport when officers arrived, and then the confrontation took place.
