They can’t have it both ways. If they want to claim that a sidewalk restaurant is a public space, then they’re not guilty of trespassing but they’re certainly on the hook for drunken/disorderly conduct in public.

They’re not going to win the case on those grounds, anyway. Both Newport and the state of Rhode Island have well established laws that cover outdoor seating areas for bars and restaurants. In fact, the office where this AG works (or used to work) probably has a few cases in its files involving this type of operation.

Thanks for the information. It’s quasi public space from what I saw online.

I suppose their only way out is to beat breath/blood.

Very moronic on their part but you can see why she works as a lawyer for the government.

Whatever fellow was with them was zero help but the reality is that he’s been down this road before.

As I’ve said for many years, the worse thing a person can say is “I NEED a drink”. I’ve seen alcohol mess up peoples lives more than anything.

Appreciate the feedback.
