Newly released police bodycam video shows an assistant attorney general in the state of Rhode Island berating an officer during her arrest last week, repeatedly saying “I’m an A.G.” and “you’re gonna regret this.”
Police responded Thursday night just before 10 p.m. to a trespassing call for customers refusing to leave a business.
Despite numerous warnings, Special Assistant Attorney General Devon Flanagan Hogan refused to leave and was taken into custody, but not before she legally challenged the officer.
“We’re not trespassing. You haven’t notified us that we’re trespassing,” Flanagan said.
“What did I just say to you? You’re trespassing … I don’t want to arrest you guys,” the officer responded.
