Dispute over crab grass?
Via The Hill:
The attorney for the man accused of assaulting Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.), breaking five of his ribs, on Monday said the incident had nothing to do with politics, Fox News reports.
“The unfortunate occurrence of November 3rd has absolutely nothing to do with either’s politics or political agendas. It was a very regrettable dispute between two neighbors over a matter that most people would regard as trivial,” said Matthew Baker, who is representing Rene Boucher.
“We sincerely hope that Senator Paul is doing well and that these two gentlemen can get back to being neighbors as quickly as possible.”
Boucher, Paul’s next-door neighbor, allegedly assaulted the senator Friday afternoon outside his home.
