The attorney representing the man who was charged with assaulting Sen. Rand Paul said Monday that attacking the Kentucky Republican had “absolutely nothing” to do with politics.
Paul sustained five rib fractures, including three displaced fractures and bruised lungs after a neighbor allegedly assaulted him while at his home in Bowling Green, Kentucky, a senior adviser told CNN on Sunday.
“We sincerely hope that Senator Paul is doing well and that these two gentlemen can get back to being neighbors as quickly as possible,” Baker’s statement Monday said.
Paul also spoke out Sunday about the incident: “Kelley and I appreciate the overwhelming support after Friday’s unfortunate event,” Paul wrote on Facebook . “Thank you for your thoughts and prayers.”
According to the Bowling Green Daily News, Boucher is an anesthesiologist and pain specialist.
CNN previously reported that Boucher was charged with one count of fourth-degree assault. He is currently out of jail after posting $7,500 bail.
