On August 14th, 2025, at approximately 10 p.m., chaos erupted outside the Clark Cook house on Banister's Wararf in Newport, Rhode Island. What began as a routine restaurant trespass call quickly spiraled into a standoff with Devon Hogan Flanigan, a special assistant attorney general. Body cam footage captures Flanigan demanding that officers turn off their cameras, claiming it was protocol because she was a citizen. She repeatedly identified herself as an AG and warned, "You're going to regret this." as officers prepared to place her in handcuffs. Flanigan and her companion, Veronica Hannon, refused to leave when asked, despite staff asking for their removal. Hannon resisted arrest fiercely, at one point slipping from handcuffs and attempting to keep the cruiser door open with her feet while shouting profanities. The scene escalated rapidly into one of the most jaw-dropping arrest moments Newport has seen. But the real shock came when they realized no amount of legal status or self-importance would save them from the law. Their entitlement shattered in one unforgettable body cam moment. >> I want you to turn your body cam off. Protocol is that you turn it off. If a citizen request is to turn it off, >> so they want you guys to leave. Yes, we have. >> Let's just leave. Let's just make it easy. Okay, >> we're gonna make it easy. That's not >> I am okay.

I'm an AG. I'm an A. >> What are you? What? What? What's wrong with you? What do you probable cause to detain me for? >> You're being detained cuz you're not leaving. >> Cuz I'm what? >> You probably You have >> You relax. Sir. Sir, she's not doing anything wrong. >> Ag. You're not. She's not being arrested. Let's go. >> I'm not being arrested. You're putting me in cuffs. I'm not being arrested. Do >> you have any weapons on you? >> No, I'm an AG. >> Her badge is in your car. You want to give me a badge? >> Let me tell you something. You're >> get the hell out of here. We need money. Seriously, >> you're arresting an AG. Let me tell you something. >> Are you on arrest? No. >> You're putting me in handcuffs and you're Miranda. You're not Mirandising me. >> So, what if she's an AG? >> Being an assistant attorney general, she should know better than anyone that officers aren't required to read Miranda rights unless they're conducting a custodial interrogation about a specific crime. What are you? >> Simply being detained or arrested doesn't trigger Miranda. And her attempt to use that as a shield only highlights her arrogance and misunderstanding of the law. >> Take your hands off. >> We will get the license. Hands off. >> Babe, we will get the license. >> No. No. No. No. No. Get out of here. >> Get back. Get back right now. Get back. >> No. No. Get back. >> Yep. >> I'm right here. I'm right here.

Let's go. >> Let's go. >> No. Babe, >> listen. You're making You're overreacting. >> Oh, now she's scared. Maybe if she had shown the officers some respect from the start, she wouldn't be in this position. There's a reason her friend is only an assistant attorney general. Hardly the kind of clout to shield them from accountability. Yet, they carried themselves like spoiled children who thought the law didn't apply to them. >> That arrogance quickly crumbled the moment they realized the officers weren't backing down. >> Just put her in that, bro. Get in the car. Get in the car. feet in the court. >> I'm right here. I'm right here. >> Please >> get your feet in the court. >> No. >> Get your feet in the [ __ ] car, >> Dan. >> Babe, I'm right here. >> No. >> No. >> Get your feet in the car. >> Who the [ __ ] are >> Get your feet in the car. >> You're a grown adult. You're acting like a kid. Dad. >> No. Who the are you? This is so inappropriate. >> You're You're overreacting. >> Devon Hogan Flanigan, special assistant attorney general, and Veronica Hannon were both arrested after restaurant staff asked them to leave, and they refused. Flanigan was charged with willful trespassing and issued a district court summon while Hannon faced additional charges of disorderly conduct and resisting arrest. Both were processed and released with court dates pending. The Rhode Island Attorney General's office has launched an internal review of Flanigan's conduct with Attorney General Peter Nuronha denouncing her behavior as inexcusable and confirming she will face disciplinary action, potentially an unpaid suspension, and must issue a formal apology to the Newport Police Department. What are your thoughts? Personally, I believe she should lose her job as she is not fit to hold that position. Please share your opinions in the comments below.
