The attack against the Republican was not politically motivated.
A jury has awarded Senator Rand Paul $580,000 in damages in a lawsuit against a neighbor who broke his ribs in a fight over grass clippings.
Paul was an outspoken Tea Party supporter and ran for the Republican presidential nomination in 2016. However, the attack was not politically motivated.
Retired anesthesiologist Rene Boucher, 60, told the court he “had enough” of Paul’s habit of piling up garden waste near the boundary of their properties in Bowling Green, Kentucky.
He said he had regularly taken away previous rubbish piles accumulated by the senator, although Paul insisted that he always kept any brush pile on his own property.
Sen Rand Paul (R-KY) departs the weekly Republican policy luncheon on September 25,2018 in Washington, DC. He has won damages after an altercation with a neighbor left him injured.
