Shameless AG who played ‘Don’t you know who I am?’ card is suspended for ’embarrassing’ behavior and ‘has a long road ahead of her’

The Rhode Island assistant attorney general who went viral after playing the ‘do you know who I am’ card during her arrest was branded ’embarassing’ by her boss as she was handed a six-month unpaid suspension.

Special Assistant Attorney General Devon Flanagan, 34, was arrested on August 14 and charged with willful trespass, during which she warned officers they would ‘regret’ arresting her.

The shamed assistant AG’s boss, Rhode Island Attorney General Peter Neronha, issued a blistering statement after Flanagan was hit with her suspension this week.

He told the Boston Globe that she ‘mistreated the Newport Police Department and embarrassed herself, the Office, and frankly me.’

‘I sincerely hope she takes this time to reflect on the seriousness of her conduct and makes corrective changes in her life,’ he added.

‘She has a long road ahead of her, but I believe that in the long run, our worst moments can inspire us to become better people.’

The officers that Flanagan berated had been called to the scene after an intoxicated friend of Flanagan’s refused to leave a restaurant around 10pm.

Flanagan was then seen in chaotic footage berating the officers, telling them to turn off their bodycams and saying: ‘Protocol is that you turn it off if a citizen requests to turn it off.’

As she was then detained for failing to comply with the officers, Flanagan yelled: ‘I’m an AG! I’m an AG!’

‘You’re going to regret this. You’re going to regret it.’

Flanagan was arraigned on Wednesday and pleaded no contest. She reportedly received a six-month filing, a request that after six months the case be dismissed.

As she left her court hearing last week where she pleaded no contest, Flanagan ignored reporter questions and hid her face behind large sunglasses.

Neronha also clarified that Flanagan’s claim during her arrest that police bodycams must be turned off at request is false.

‘She’s humiliated herself,’ Neronha previously told WPRO.

‘Regardless of what happens vis-a-vis her employment with us, she’s going to have a long time coming back from this. It’s just really unfortunate.

‘I’ve got 110 lawyers. She embarrassed all of them. I haven’t had many issues like this while I’ve been attorney general.’
