Devon Flanagan
Devon Lea Flanagan Hogan is an American lawyer from Warwick, Rhode Island and a Special Assistant Attorney General of the Rhode Island Attorney General's Office.
Career
Flanagan was arrested on August 14, 2025, in Newport, Rhode Island, on a misdemeanor charge of willful trespass outside the Clarke Cooke House restaurant. Police had responded to a report of patrons refusing to leave the premises. Body camera footage of the incident, which went viral, showed Flanagan repeatedly identifying herself as an "AG," requesting that officers turn off their cameras, and stating to one officer, "You're gonna regret this," as she was detained.
Reports indicated alcohol was involved in the encounter. Rhode Island Attorney General Peter Neronha placed Flanagan on six months of unpaid leave. He stated that Flanagan had "mistreated the Newport Police Department" and "treated the Newport Police Department horribly," adding that she had embarrassed herself, the office, and him personally. Neronha described her conduct as inexcusable and below the standards expected of attorneys in the office. She later pleaded no contest to the trespassing charge (with the case filed for potential dismissal after six months, subject to conditions such as staying away from the restaurant). Flanagan was reinstated to her approximately $113,000-a-year role in a reassigned unit following the suspension.
Personal life
Flagan lives in Warwick, Rhode Island and since January 2019 has been married to William Hogan.
