U.S. Senator Rand Paul was assaulted at his home on Friday (11/3) afternoon, according to a release from Kentucky State Police.
A spokesperson for Paul confirmed the senator suffered five broken ribs in the incident. Originally, reports stated Paul suffer just cuts to his face.
Kentucky State Troopers responded to Paul’s residence in Warren County after a report of an assault around 3:21 pm CDT on Friday. After they got to Paul’s house, they determined 59 year-old Rene Boucher intentionally assaulted Paul, causing a minor injury. Kentucky State Police says the FBI is now investigating to see if the assault was politically motivated. Paul was mowing his lawn at the time of the assault.
Boucher was arrested and charged with one count of Fourth Degree Assault and was lodged in the Warren County Detention Center. The investigation is ongoing.
