The Rhode Island prosecutor caught on bodycam vide The Rhode Island prosecutor caught on bodycam video repeatedly telling police “I’m an AG” during her arrest last summer is back on the job — just not in the same role. @nbc10wjar, which first confirmed the development, reports that Special Assistant Attorney General Devon Hogan Flanagan returned to work Monday after serving a six-month unpaid suspension. Hogan Flanagan went viral in August after Newport police released body-camera footage showing her arguing with officers outside the Clarke Cooke House on Bannister’s Wharf. Restaurant staff had called police, saying she and a friend refused to leave. On the video, Hogan Flanagan can be heard repeatedly invoking her title — “I’m an AG” — and warning officers, “You’re gonna regret this,” as they placed her in handcuffs and into the back of a cruiser. She was charged with trespassing and pleaded no contest a week later. Attorney General Peter Neronha suspended her without pay on Aug. 25, blasting her conduct at the time. “Special Assistant Attorney General Devon Flanagan mistreated the Newport Police Department and embarrassed herself, the office, and frankly me,” Neronha said then. “We hold our attorneys to the highest personal and professional standards, and Ms. Flanagan plainly did not meet those standards here.” NBC 10 confirms Hogan Flanagan’s title remains the same, but she has been reassigned from the Appellate Unit to the Providence County Superior Court Daily Calendar. She has worked in the Attorney General’s Office for about seven years and was ordered not to return to the Clarke Cooke House following the Aug. 14 incident. #imanag #rhodeisland #newportbuzz
Perched atop a commanding hill in the heart of the Perched atop a commanding hill in the heart of the Farm Coast, 155D West Main Road is a striking Coastal Brutalist estate with panoramic views of the Sakonnet Passage. A dramatic stairway leads to the entrance, where retractable glass walls in the vaulted great room erase the boundary between indoors and out. Teak wall cladding, Douglas fir ceilings, and terrazzo floors set the tone: sculptural, warm, and impossibly coastal. The chef’s kitchen pairs White Carrara marble island and counters with teak cabinetry, plus Sub-Zero and Viking appliances. The primary suite is wrapped in floor-to-ceiling glass, with a spa-like bath featuring Linac marble floors, a floating teak vanity, and a custom teak dressing room. Upstairs, two bedrooms offer dual-aspect glass walls, birch cladding, and built-ins, alongside a luxe bath finished with Montauk slate and a floating birch vanity. Amenities include a state-of-the-art 6-seat theater, three fireplaces, Sonos sound, smart home systems, and a 4-car garage. Additional features: generator, stone-walled vegetable garden, 4-bedroom septic, and deeded water access. Every element of this architectural jewel was conceived to honor its coastal setting while delivering modern luxury at its most refined. 155D West Main Road, Little Compton 3 BD | 2.5 BA | 5,793 SF | 2 acres Listed by @cherryarnold_realestate of Mott & Chace Sotheby’s International Realty (@mottandchace) for $4,150,000
Newport is bringing in the big guns. Heavy equipm Newport is bringing in the big guns. Heavy equipment on loan from the State is now rolling through the City as crews scramble to claw back streets buried under snow in what officials say will be a multi-day, round-the-clock operation. The first priority: reopening roads in the Yachting Village and the Lower Thames Street corridor — two of the city’s busiest and most business-critical areas — before fanning out into neighborhoods citywide. But here’s the catch: Move your car — or it will be moved for you. A mandatory parking ban remains in effect on all designated snow emergency routes, with one exception — the southbound side of Broadway. Everywhere else, towing will be strictly enforced, officials warned. “This is a 24-hour operation,” the City said in a notice, urging residents not to wait. “If you have a car parked on a parking ban street, please move it now.” 🚨 Streets Impacted by the Parking Ban: Annandale Road Bedlow Avenue Bellevue Avenue (from Kay Street to Bowery Street) Bliss Road Coggeshall Avenue East Bowery Street Farewell Street Friendship Street Gibbs Avenue Gould Street Kay Street Powell Avenue Spring Street Summer Street Thames Street Third Street Upper Broadway Van Zandt Avenue (from J.T. Connell Memorial Road to Malbone Road) Warner Street Washington Square Washington Street West Marlborough Street West Narragansett Avenue William Street City officials say clearing these arteries is critical to restoring normal traffic flow, emergency access, and business activity. Bottom line: If your car is on the list, move it — or risk a tow. #blizzard2026 #newportbuzz #newportri
