More of the Wedding Day Melee last weekend in Newport.
Oh lookie here. The bride’s parents show up in this newly obtained video and THEN the bride HITS a Newport cop in the face. You’ll see it at the very beginning of the video. Kylie Swain, the bride who is still in her dress, strikes a Newport police officer in the face while her father is intervening.
This just keeps getting more interesting.
Kylie Swain is due back in Newport District Court on September 27th.

Oh PS – The Mayor of Newport Xay Khamsyvoravong incredibly overstepped his role with the city and tried to insert himself in this situation for political points by pretending he was in control, when in fact by city charter the City Manager is in charge and the mayor has ZERO role.
