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.
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.
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.
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.
"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.
"Good for you, I don't give a s---," one of the arresting officers can be heard saying back at one point.

This makes no sense. Why were they asked to leave? What was the reason?

She was considered an “unwanted party” by the restaurant and was asked to leave by employees.
Flanagan refused to leave when police arrived, even after being told she would not be arrested if she departed. She was subsequently arrested and charged with willful trespass.
Bodycam footage of the incident, showing a heated interaction and her arrest, has gone viral and sparked public discussion.
“I’m an AG”
Someone reported that she shouted it 11 times.
And her snooty smug friend with her... I hope something bad happens to her, too.
It’s a she.
