The Rhode Island assistant attorney general whose arrest went viral after telling police officers they would “regret” taking her to jail has learned her punishment for the embarrassing scene.

Special Assistant Attorney General Devon Flanagan, 34, who was arrested for willful trespass at the Clarke Cooke House restaurant in Newport, Rhode Island on Aug. 14, has been placed on six months of unpaid leave.

“On Aug. 14, Special Assistant Attorney General Devon Flanagan mistreated the Newport Police Department and embarrassed herself, the Office, and frankly me,” Rhode Island Attorney General Peter Neronha said, according to the Boston Globe. “We hold our attorneys to the highest personal and professional standards, and Ms. Flanagan plainly did not meet those standards here.”

Police were called to the restaurant just before 10 p.m. after an intoxicated woman, Flanagan’s friend, refused to leave the premises.

During the chaotic encounter with police that was captured on a body-worn camera, Flanagan repeatedly pestered officers to turn their cameras off, insisting that, “Protocol is that you turn it off if a citizen requests to turn it off.”

“I’m an AG! I’m an AG!” Flanagan told police as they tried to detain her for failing to comply.

“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.

“I sincerely hope she takes this time to reflect on the seriousness of her conduct and makes corrective changes in her life,” Neronha said in the statement. “She has a long road ahead of her, but I believe that in the long run, our worst moments can inspire us to become better people.”

She didn’t lose her job, as an “AG”? Clown state.

Any public official who says, 'DO YOU KNOW WHO I AM?' should be removed from public service.

Let her work in the private sector.

"Maybe it’s just me, but I believe prosecutors should be held to a high standard of lawfulness and respect for law enforcement."

It's not just you, most people share your sentiment. Unfortunately, the notion that all people should be equal in the eyes of the law only cuts one way. If she had been assaulted, the perpatrator would be facing all sorts of penalty enhancements because of her position and status. Yet, she can act like a drunken ass and and legally there will be no consideration given to the fact that she should have known better than most and is responsible for enforcing the same laws she openly flouted.

AWFULs: Affluent White Feminist Urban Liberals. They are destroying society because they plow the road for BLM, Antifa, and every other destructive element of society. This group really is the one that needs control molete dismantling. Hammering them as Karens was a good start but they need to be hounded. They are completely responsible for the destruction of the family court system and an unprecedented transfer of wealth from men to women.

If that’s her in the picture, she forgot to wear her “Cracker Barrel Girl Glasses”. Isn’t that part of the uniform?

She’s too stupid to be part of the Justice System - she didn’t know that she didn’t have to be Mirandized unless she was being interrogated in a manner that might cause her answers to convict herself....

She should simply inform the judge that she is an AG.
