BOWLING GREEN, Ky. (AP) — U.S. Sen. Rand Paul’s neighbor has been sentenced to 30 days in prison for attacking him in a dispute over yard waste, and the Republican lawmaker says he’s fine with that.
Rene Boucher pleaded guilty to assaulting a member of Congress. Paul suffered broken ribs. Boucher said he was triggered by Paul stacking debris near their property line in Bowling Green, Kentucky.
U.S. District Judge Marianne Battani called November’s attack a “dispute between neighbors” and an “isolated incident,” not motivated by politics. Boucher also must serve a year of supervised release. Federal prosecutors sought 21 months, but a statement from Paul calls 30 days “appropriate.”
I thought the headline read attack on yard waste!
Pauli can make an even bigger pile while his neighbor is in jail.
And by “yard waste” he meant Rand’s weave…
30 days. Is there even a federal prison that takes someone for a 30 day sentence?
That’s more like County Jail stuff. Where does he go for a sentence like this?
I am sure he could find 30 volunteers to each take a day for him…
Not excusing the neighbor, but if you read the story of what happened, it does sound like Rand Paul was acting like an entitled dickhead - no big surprise there.
