When a Prosecutor’s Night Out Turns into a Legal Masterclass… for All the Wrong Reasons!

Talk about a night that took a serious turn! Devon Hogan Flanagan, a Special Assistant Attorney General in Rhode Island, decided to show the Newport Police Department just how knowledgeable she was about the law while allegedly trespassing outside the Clarke Cooke House restaurant. Instead of giving a lesson, she ended up on the receiving end of some harsh reality when the cops slapped the cuffs on her. Can you say “oops”?

In the body cam footage that has everyone talking, Flanagan not only claimed she wouldn’t be arrested but also threatened the officer by saying he would “regret this.” Her friend, Veronica Hannan, was also in the mix, resisting arrest while insisting they were entitled to be there because, after all, one of them was a lawyer. Who knew a night out would turn into a crash course in legal basics?

Both women ended up facing charges for their shenanigans, proving once again that the long arm of the law really can reach anyone. What are your thoughts on this awkward tango? Is it a cautionary tale for those wearing high-powered titles, or just a hilarious mishap? Either way, the legal drama that unfolded is nothing short of entertaining!

So, have you ever had a wild night that spiraled out of control like this? It’s a good reminder that when you’re out to have fun, know the rules—or at least stay away from the law!
