- Police charged her with misdemeanor willful trespass stemming from an Aug. 14 incident outside Newport’s Clarke Cooke House.
- Body-worn camera video shows her asking officers to turn off their cameras, repeating “I’m an A.G.” multiple times, and telling an officer, “You’re going to regret this.”
- Attorney General Peter Neronha called the behavior inexcusable and said he is weighing a strong sanction, and her arraignment is scheduled for Aug. 27.
- Policy allows victims or witnesses to request body cameras be turned off, not people in confrontations, according to the attorney general and experts; separately, companion Veronica Hannan pleaded not guilty on Aug. 15 to trespass, disorderly conduct, and resisting arrest.
