Federal agents had locked off both the elevator and the stairs to the top floor of the building — the penthouse.

GoLocal has learned through multiple sources that the FBI search is focused on the office of attorney Joseph Molina Flynn, a prominent attorney and a municipal court judge in Central Falls. He is also an adjunct professor at Roger Williams Law School.
