A Rhode Island assistant attorney general who trie A Rhode Island assistant attorney general who tried pulling rank on Newport cops has been put on unpaid leave, according to WPRI12, after a night out in Newport ended in handcuffs.

Special Assistant Attorney General Devon Flanagan, 34, was arrested on Aug. 14 after allegedly refusing to leave the Clarke Cooke House on Bannister’s Wharf. Police said she ignored repeated orders to go, landing her with a willful trespass charge — a misdemeanor.

Bodycam footage released by police shows Flanagan repeatedly telling officers “I’m an A.G.” and demanding they shut off their cameras. At one point, she warns, “Buddy, you’re gonna regret this. You’re gonna regret it.” Moments later, she was placed in the back of a cruiser.

WPRI12 reports that Flanagan — who has worked in the AG’s office for seven years in the Criminal Division’s appellate unit — has been placed on unpaid leave starting Monday while the incident is reviewed.

Attorney General Peter Neronha told WPRO-AM: “She’s put me in a bad position. She’s embarrassed herself, humiliated herself, treated the Newport Police Department horribly. You know, she is going to take some steps to try to address that in the next day or so. … In the end, there will be a suspension without pay here.”

Yes, we know. It’s still summer. Nobody’s rush Yes, we know. It’s still summer. Nobody’s rushing you off the beach. But with these cooler evenings lately, it’s hard not to get excited for Newport with a little foliage and a sweater.🍂🍁

Gas prices continue to decline this summer, giving Gas prices continue to decline this summer, giving drivers some relief at the pump. The national average for a gallon of regular gasoline fell three cents this past week to $3.13, according to AAA. That’s the lowest late-August price since 2020, when the average was $2.18.

The drop has prompted speculation about whether the national average could fall below $3 in the weeks ahead. Analysts say it’s possible, but note that oil prices remain volatile and factors such as severe weather or global conflicts could quickly change the outlook.

Here’s how prices compare:
* Today: $3.137
* One week ago: $3.160
* One month ago: $3.140
* One year ago: $3.397

New data from the Energy Information Administration shows gasoline demand declined slightly to 8.84 million barrels per day, while supplies fell to 223.6 million barrels. Gasoline production also dipped to 9.6 million barrels per day. U.S. crude inventories dropped by 6 million barrels last week, with West Texas Intermediate crude closing at $63.21 a barrel.

State-by-state picture
The most expensive markets remain on the West Coast, led by California ($4.49), Hawaii ($4.46) and Washington ($4.39). The least expensive are concentrated in the South, with Mississippi ($2.68), Oklahoma ($2.70) and Louisiana ($2.72) at the bottom of the list.

For electric vehicle drivers, the national average for public charging stayed unchanged at 36 cents per kilowatt hour. Prices vary widely, from a high of 51 cents in Alaska to a low of 25 cents in Kansas.

With summer nearing its end, experts say drivers could continue to see lower fuel prices, provided crude oil remains steady and major storms or global disruptions don’t hit energy markets.
