Mark G. Flanagan (born February 14, 1963 in Newton, Massachusetts) is a former member of the House of Representatives of the U.S. state of Florida. He currently lives in Bradenton, Florida,[1] and is a financial advisor for Morgan Stanley.[2]

2009 incident

In 2009, Flanagan was wrongfully arrested for obstruction of justice and resisting arrest in Bradenton.[3][4] During an investigation Manatee Sheriff's deputy Lee Harrington went to Flanagan's home seeking the location of Flanagan's son. When Flanagan came to the door he requested that the deputy leave his business card and stated that he would not speak to Harrington without a lawyer, the deputy entered the home, tackled, and arrested Flanagan for "impeding" his investigation.[4][5] These charges were quickly dropped, and Harrington was temporarily reassigned and an internal investigation into the arrest began.[6] The investigation found that Flanagan's arrest was unlawful; the Sheriff’s Office demoted Harrington to the dispatch center, suspended him for 120 hours, and docked 120 hours of vacation pay.[4]

Education

He attended the University of Florida, and graduated from the University of San Francisco in 1985 with a BA in US History.[1]
