--Two former Hudson police officers pleaded guilty Tuesday to beating up a Wellington man following a James Taylor concert at Blossom Music Center last June.

Kenneth Ciesla, 40, pleaded guilty to felonious assault in the beating of Christopher Sawyer. Robert Walker, 39, pleaded guilty to two misdemeanor assault charges that included the attack on Sawyer and pushing Sawyer's fianceé, Robin Diller...

Sawyer said the two men became incensed with him when his picnic basket brushed the vehicle they were riding in. Sawyer said he was sucker-punched, knocked to the ground and kicked.

"They pretty much broke every bone on the left side of my face," he said, adding that he still has trouble eating solid food. "You don't expect to go to a James Taylor concert and have this occur."...
