A Police body camera video shows Devon Flanagan, Special Assistant Attorney General, and her friend being approached by the police. The establishment that called the police informed them that these women were trespassing. The police officer asked them to leave as they were trespassing, but the women refused to leave. Flanagan told the officer that he had to turn his camera off upon her request, then tried to inform him of the job that she did. The police didn’t care. Both Flanagan and her friend were ultimately placed in cuffs and placed in the back seat of separate police vehicles.<\/p>\n

From Fox News:<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

The Rhode Island assistant attorney general, whose arrest went viral earlier this week after she seemingly tried to use her position to evade arrest, telling officers they’d “regret” putting her behind bars, will be placed on unpaid leave.<\/p>\n

Special Assistant Attorney General Devon Flanagan, who was arrested for trespassing, was placed on paid leave directly after the incident while the Rhode Island Attorney General’s office reviewed the matter. But, starting Monday, Flanagan will go on unpaid leave, the office told Fox News Digital.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

“I’m an AG! I’m an AG!” Flanagan could be heard saying to police as they tried to detain her for failing to comply with their demands. “You’re going to regret this. You’re going to regret it. I’m an A-” Flanagan said as she was escorted to the back of a police car and the door was shut.<\/p>\n

“Good for you, I don’t give a s—,” one of the arresting officers can be heard saying back at one point.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
