A man who was awarded $135,000 to settle his lawsuit accusing two Vermont State Police troopers of excessive force said yesterday it was wrong for the troopers' boss to defend their actions. Kevin Farnan of Petersburgh said a statement by state police director Thomas L'Esperance was sickening.
Farnan sued the troopers last year, saying he was clubbed, hit with pepper spray and shot nine times with a Taser after being placed in handcuffs after a bar altercation.
