Devon Flanagan, a Rhode Island assistant attorney general whose attempt to use her job title to avoid arrest went viral earlier this month, is facing a six-month unpaid suspension for her actions.
The outcome, described by many as a case of instant karma, was met with division online, with some expressing disappointment over what they saw as a lenient resolution.
The 34-year-old was arrested for willful trespassing at a Newport restaurant on August 14, after refusing to leave the property following an alcohol-fueled confrontation involving one of her friends.
