Kylie Swain, 28, of South Weymouth, MA, the bride involved in Newport’s infamous September Wedding Day Melee pleaded contendere to two charges of Simple Assault and one charge of Disorderly Conduct on Tuesday in Newport County District Court.
Nolo contendere is a plea where the defendant accepts conviction as though a guilty plea had been entered but does not admit guilt.
