A Rhode Island state prosecutor was caught on video invoking her title and demanding officers turn off their body-worn cameras as she was arrested and charged with trespassing at a restaurant in Newport last week.

“Buddy, you’re going to regret this,” Special Assistant Attorney General Devon Flanagan could be heard telling an officer as she was placed inside a police cruiser during the Aug. 14 incident.

The 34-year-old was arrested shortly before 10 p.m. at 24 Bannister’s Wharf, the Clarke Cooke House restaurant, according to a Newport Police Department report. Flanagan faces a charge of willful trespassing.

Flanagan did not immediately return a request for comment Tuesday, and it was unclear whether she had an attorney who could speak on her behalf.
