    Rand Paul’s neighbor punched him in the face and apparently that was okay, too.

    Unfortunately, not quite…

    Rene Boucher, 58, was charged on Friday with assaulting a member of Congress, a felony, months after his sneak attack on Sen. Rand Paul in November, according to officials.

    “Assaulting a member of Congress is an offense we take very seriously,” said Josh Minkler, the U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of Indiana. “Those who choose to commit such an act will be held accountable.”

    Officials said Boucher signed a plea agreement, but no date or sentencing has been set. He faces up to 10 years in prison and a fine up to $250,000.
