According to the neighbor, Senator Paul and Boucher have had ongoing problems. Senator Paul and Boucher share a corner adjacent to their homes.
According to the Kentucky Board of Medical Licensure, Boucher is a retired physician, as of February, 2015. He was licensed in 1998.
According to records obtained by WAVE 3 News, he graduated from the University of Des Moines Osteopathic Med & Surgery.
WAVE 3 News was also able to confirm Boucher was a registered Democrat, but that registration in Rhode Island was canceled. On his Facebook page, Boucher's previous posts have been politically charged, showing frustration with President Donald Trump. We did not find any posts mentioning Senator Paul.
Records show Boucher's home is also in Bowling Green. It is valued at $740,000.
Boucher is being held at the Warren County Detention Center on a $7,500 bond.

(16,508 posts)No detail on exactly what happened and I find the idea that Rand Paul was actually mowing his own yard to be a bridge too far from a believability standpoint.

I can't imagine that Rand Paul is a pleasant person to live near.
