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.
