Rand Paul and his neighbor haven't talked in years
Rene Albert Boucher
There were no known witnesses as Rene Albert Boucher  an anesthesiologist and former colleague who has lived next door for 17 years  allegedly blindsided Paul last Friday by tackling him and throwing him to the ground. The only potential motive that emerged from interviews with a neighbor was that the two men had a long-running feud over leaves and lawn clippings along the property line they share.
Lidija Loik described Rand and Kelley Paul as "great neighbors" and "lovely people" who welcomed  her  to the neighborhood when  she  moved in a few years ago from Canada.
 Boucher  pleaded not guilty Thursday to misdemeanor assault during an arraignment in Bowling Green  Kentucky. In an interview with CNN   Boucher 's attorney  Matthew Baker  said his client regrets the incident.
Baker added that he and  Boucher  recently met with US Capitol Police. A Capitol Police spokesperson said she would not comment "on ongoing investigations."
Baker   Boucher 's Bowling Green-based attorney  sought to downplay the incident earlier this week  calling it an "unfortunate occurrence." Baker said Paul and  Boucher  worked together when they were practicing physicians in Bowling Green. After suffering from a neck injury   Boucher  patented a therapeutic vest for people with back pain. In a divorce filing initiated in 2008 when  Boucher  was 49   his  then-wife said  he  was out on disability as a result of a bicycle accident. (Court filings from 2010 say they were trying to sell their Rivergreen property at that time.)
