Fliptown
Can you use a character ability after the Sheriff card is flipped to avoid arrest?
The rulebook states the Marshal's timing; the general rule is the agreed reading of community posts.

Generally no. Players agree that once the Sheriff card is revealed you are stuck with the result, so an ability meant to avoid arrest has to be used before the flip. The Marshal is the exception, because its ability applies to the revealed Sheriff card.
