Sen. Rand Paul’s Angry Neighbor Is Suing Him

Remember Rene Boucher? He’s the angry neighbor who tackled Rand Paul to the ground while he (Rand Paul) was mowing his lawn. Paul said Boucher “came onto his property and tackled him from behind, forcing him to the ground and causing pain,” which resulted in “six broken ribs, pleural effusion and ultimately pneumonia.”

Yeah. This definitely wasn’t a gentle nudge.

Anyway, Boucher met his fate last month.

Rene Boucher, 59, pleaded guilty in March to assaulting a member of Congress, resulting in personal injury, and was sentenced to 30 days in prison and a year of supervised release for the attack, reported U.S. News And World Report.

But it’s not over. Boucher has filed a countersuit against Paul.

BOWLING GREEN, Kentucky (WBKO) — Days after Sen. Rand Paul filed a civil lawsuit against the neighbor convicted of assaulting him, the senator is now facing a counter lawsuit.

This is never going to end.

Sen. Paul filed a civil lawsuit against Boucher on Monday for damages from pain and suffering.

On Wednesday, Boucher’s attorney filed not only a motion to dismiss part of Paul’s lawsuit, but also a counter suit that claims Sen. Paul should owe compensation to Dr. Boucher.

According to the complaint, Boucher is seeking “all compensatory and punitive damages permitted by law,” citing the “intentional” actions of the Paul Family.

The counter lawsuit also names Sen. Paul’s wife, Kelly, and the Rivergreen Homeowners Association.

The complaint states that the Pauls were in violation of the Homeowners Association’s by-laws while repeatedly piling up “unsightly” debris, tree limbs, mounds of trash and other waste near Boucher’s property.

The complaint also states at least two members of the Homeowners Association knew of the Pauls’ violations, but failed to to act on them.

And that warranted a physical attack?

Boucher’s defense team also filed a motion Wednesday for the dismissal of Sen. Paul’s request for an injunction to keep Boucher away from his family.

“Such an order is already in place in federal court, so asking Judge Wilson for the same of similar order doesn’t really seem appropriate,” said Boucher’s attorney Matt Baker.

Baker claims in the counter lawsuit that his client is entitled to injunctive relief as it relates to the Pauls’ violation of the HOA by-laws.

Make it all staaaaahhhhp.
