Kentucky State Police have arrested a man accused of assaulting Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) at his home in Bowling Green, the senator's office confirmed on Saturday.

"Senator Paul was blindsided and the victim of an assault," Kelsey Cooper, a spokeswoman for Paul, said in a statement. "The assailant was arrested and it is now a matter for the police. Senator Paul is fine.”

The Warren County Attorney's Office issued a warrant for Boucher's arrest shortly after the assault on Friday. The suspect was identified as 59-year-old Rene Boucher of Bowling Green, Kent., according to a statement from Kentucky State Police.

Police are investigating the assault, according to the statement. Boucher has been charged with 4th degree assault, causing a minor injury.

Doug Stafford said it is unclear when Paul will return to work since he is in considerable pain and has difficulty getting around, including flying. Stafford said Sunday that the broken ribs include three displaced fractures, which can lead to life-threatening injuries. The severe pain can last for weeks or months.

According to Daily Caller there is someone else in the town with the same name. It isn't the doc who assaulted Rand:

I think it is the D.O.

Even though this article..

https://www.usatoday.com/story/news...ted-his-kentucky-home-man-arrested/832663001/

...only indicates the reporter looked up address based on name, here is a customs ruling about the therm-a-vest verifying that's the docs address:

And you can see the Dr. looks older in this photo:

So it that image is around 2003, which is when the customs ruling is dated, I'm guessing Danno's photo is 20 years or so outdated. In which case the mugshot may be him. I do think the cheek lines look similar.
 
I'm not sure what Matt Collins' avatar is... but that is pretty much the look I had after I read the thread title.
Talk about hackles being raised.

I wonder what happened.
 
If this turns out to be the anesthesiologist and their kids had indeed known each other previously, it might just have been a heated argument about some apolitical stuff.

On the flipside, if an anesthesiologist actually wanted to seriously harm somebody, he probably wouldnt use violence but rather drugs/poison.
