WDRB reports,
June 12, 2019, that according to court documents, Rene Boucher sold his
five-bedroom home in Bowling Green so that he could pay $382,000 to
Sen. Paul as part of a lawsuit verdict.
Paul had sued Boucher after the attack, which left the senator with several broken ribs and a hernia.
During the trial, Boucher said the attack was triggered by Paul
stacking yard debris near his property line. Boucher pleaded guilty to
assaulting a member of Congress, and served 30 days in federal prison.
He was also sentenced to a year of supervised release, 100 hours of
community service, a $10,000 fine, and was also ordered to pay Paul more
than $600,000 for pain and suffering, and not to have any intentional
contact with Paul or his family.
But Boucher has the chutzpah to sue Paul and his homeowner’s
insurance company, claiming the company “refused to provide him
[Boucher] a defense for the bodily injury claim (that) Paul leveled
against him.”
