Sen. Rand Paul’s attacker will be spending an extra eight months behind bars.

Rene Boucher, the Kentucky Republican’s neighbor, was sentenced Monday to the additional prison time after prosecutors argued that his previous 30-day stint and $10,000 fine for the assault was too lenient. After serving the prison time, Boucher will be on supervised release for 18 months.
