Drunk Rhode Island official who ’embarrassed herself’ after unruly arrest went viral gets swift reality check

Police camera footage released Monday showed Rhode Island Special Assistant Attorney General Devon Flanagan Hogan ‘berating’ officers and attempting to avoid arrest after a drunken night out with a friend.

She was arrested Thursday for allegedly trespassing at the Clarke Cooke House, a swanky waterfront restaurant in Newport, Rhode Island.

Hogan can be seen on the police body camera footage attempting to use her position to wriggle out of legal trouble.

‘I’m an AG [attorney general]. I’m an AG. What are your probable cause to detain me for?’ Hogan said.

‘You’re going to regret this. You’re going to regret it,’ Hogan also warned the police officers.

And now Rhode Island Attorney General Peter Neronha says there will be consequences.

Neronha told WPRO radio host Gene Valicenti Tuesday that ‘she embarrassed herself, humiliated herself, treated the Newport Police Department horribly.’
