A new sentencing date has been set for a Kentucky man who tackled U.S. Sen. Rand Paul, breaking several of the lawmaker's ribs.

Rene Boucher was scheduled to be resentenced on July 27 on a count of assaulting a member of Congress, the Bowling Green Daily News reported.

Boucher had served a 30-day sentence, paid a $10,000 fine and performed community services after pleading guilty to attacking his then-neighbor Paul over a lawn maintenance issue along their property line in 2017.

Paul had six broken ribs and later suffered bouts of pneumonia and underwent surgery to remove part of his damaged lung.

Federal prosecutors appealed the sentence, stating 30 days was too lenient considering Paul’s injuries. A federal appeals court agreed with prosecutors in September 2019 and ordered Boucher to be resentenced, vacating his 30-day sentence.

If it was a conservative it would be all over the news yet here we are with just local coverage from Kentucky.

"What a handsome gent. I think he will find what he is looking for in prison."

He's the neighbor nobody ever wants. Always telling neighbors what they need to do with their property.

Good! The initial sentence was a joke.

How would you even know what was happening on the fringes of such a big lot, so far away from your house?

CRAZY person.

If it goes back to the original judge (democrat), he’ll probably up the sentence to 45 days just to give the feds the middle finger.

Wouldn’t doubt it.
