Another day, another Democrat “public servant” caught behaving like she’s above the law.
On Thursday night, Special Assistant Attorney General Devon Hogan Flanagan, a Democrat-appointed prosecutor with the Rhode Island Attorney General’s office, was arrested in Newport after refusing to leave a restaurant and berating responding officers with her supposed “status.”
According to a press release from the Newport Police Department, officers were dispatched at 9:51 p.m. on August 14 to the Clarke Cooke House after an entitled Hogan and her friend, Veronica Hannan, reportedly refused repeated requests to leave.
According to the bodycam footage obtained by Nicole Solas, Hogan repeatedly shouted “I’M AN AG” ELEVEN times while resisting officers. She even threatened police: “Buddy, you’re gonna regret this.”
Her arrogant outbursts didn’t faze Newport’s finest. One officer shot back, “Good for you. I don’t give a sh*t.”
Hogan even tried to make it a twelfth time, yelling “I’M AN A—” before officers shut the cruiser door in her face.

2/ After Asst. Attorney General Devon Hogan Flanagan yelled “I’M AN AG” ELEVEN TIMES, she threatened police. “Buddy, you’re gonna regret this.”
She tried to say it 12X but police shut the door after “A” & before “G.”
So that’s 11.5X.
I’m not sure, but I think she’s an AG. pic.twitter.com/ps8kYqYVxq

Meanwhile, Hogan’s friend Veronica Hannan went into full meltdown mode. Police reports detail how Hannan slipped out of her handcuffs, kicked and screamed, and even growled and hissed at officers in front of a growing public crowd.

All they had to do was leave.

According to the Newport Police report obtained by GoLocal Prov News:
After several attempts of trying to move the parties along with verbal commands, I gently placed my hands on the backs of Veronica and Hogan, attempting to usher them away to avoid further conflict. Both parties still refused to leave and I grabbed Hogan’s left and right hands, securing handcuffs on her. While attempting to secure Hogan in handcuffs she repeatedly stated, “I’m an AG (Attorney General).” I informed Hogan that she was being arrested because of the fact that she was refused to leave after numerous lawful orders. Hogan was subsequently searched for weapons and contraband before being placed in the rear prisoner compartment of cruiser #16 which was previously searched.
Once Hogan was secured in the rear of my cruiser, I observed Officer Chiang struggling to place Veronica in handcuffs. I went over to assist Officer Chiang in securing Veronica in handcuffs. I grabbed Veronica’s left arm while Officer Chiang grabbed her right arm. As Officer Chiang went to place handcuffs on Veronica, she tensed her arms and pulled away. Veronica at one point screamed, “Get your fucking hands off me” as he was giving commands. Officer Chiang put his body weight into Veronica as he was attempting to secure the handcuffs on her as she continued to stiffen and resist hand placement.
While in the process of attempting to secure Veronica in handcuffs, her husband, James kept trying to interfere with the detention. With a single arm, I pushed James away and commanded him multiple times to get back. Eventually, Officer Chiang was able to secure Veronica in handcuffs, however, due to the petite size of her wrists, Veronica slipped out of the handcuffs quickly and took a few steps back. At this point, it should be noted that a large crowd had formed due to the loud and unreasonable noise that disturbed the general public in the area. I then immediately grabbed Veronica’s right hand firmly as Officer Chiang grabbed her left hand. I then placed Veronica in handcuffs as she still actively resisted by tensing…”
In another statement by Newport Police, an officer cited:
“Sergeant Lavallee booked and photographed Veronica and she was searched by Officer Gonsalves before being placed in cell #8. Officer Hutson booked and photographed Hogan and she was searched and fingerprinted by Officer Lopes. It should be noted that while booking Hogan, she was extremely uncooperative, berating officers, repeatedly stating her position as an AG and refusing to follow instructions. Hogan was eventually released with a District Court Summons.”
