A Bowling Green man was arrested Friday and charged with fourth-degree assault following an incident at the Bowling Green home of U.S. Sen. Rand Paul.
Rene Boucher, 59, is in the Warren County Regional Jail in lieu of a $5,000 bond, according to online jail records available Saturday afternoon.
Paul suffered minor injuries, according to a news release from Kentucky State Police Post 3 in Bowling Green, which did not describe the circumstances surrounding the incident.
Kelsey Cooper, Paul's Kentucky communications director, issued a statement to the Daily News indicating that "Senator Paul is fine."
"Senator Paul was blindsided and the victim of an assault," Cooper said in an email. "The assailant was arrested and it is now a matter for the police.”

“(1) A person is guilty of assault in the fourth degree when: (a) He intentionally or wantonly causes physical injury to another person; or (b) With recklessness he causes physical injury to another person by means of a deadly weapon or a dangerous instrument. (2) Assault in the fourth degree is a Class A misdemeanor.”
There is a Dr. Rene Boucher who is anesthesiologist in Bowling Green.
Surely out of 535 swamp dwelling congress-critters, there are a few that are more deserving of your wrath than Constitution supporting Rand Paul?
Yeah, let’s just make sure we scare off any other potential Constitution supporting people from running for office by ceaselessly attacking any existing ones that dare to do so. We can even cheer when they get assaulted! That’s the ticket! /s
Some like it rough.

Perp looks older than that guy
I don’t believe it’s the same man. The Facebook photos are of a younger man whose eyes are set deeper than the perp. JMHO
$5000 bond, really not that much when a prisoner usually puts up 10% of a bail bond. (I think I have this correct but any additional info welcome). So, in the end, this doesn’t seem to serious, something happened though.
...and he hates Trump too.
