Rhode Island prosecutor Devon Flanagan was arrested for trespassing after refusing to leave a Newport restaurant and repeatedly asserting her position as an Assistant Attorney General. Body camera footage shows Flanagan arguing with police, requesting they turn off their cameras, and ultimately threatening them with regret. The Attorney General's office is conducting an internal review of the incident, which involved Flanagan's arrest for trespassing along with her friend's arrests for additional misdemeanors. Flanagan's seven-year tenure and assignment to the appellate unit are noted.
