A Rhode Island state prosecutor arrested on a trespassing charge outside a Newport restaurant on Aug. 14 is being placed on unpaid leave, the Attorney General’s Office said Friday.
Special Assistant Attorney General Devon Flanagan was arrested after declining with a friend to leave the outside of the Clarke Cook House restaurant.
Flanagan also told police officers to turn off their body cameras, video of the incident shows.
“Protocol is that you turn it off if a citizen requests to turn it off,” she says in the video.
Flanagan is one of 120 Assistant or Special Assistant attorneys general in the state Office of Attorney General.
