Sarah Palin’s son arrested for domestic violence after fist-fight with father over handgun
Police say Track Palin, 28, smashed his way through a window to tackle his father, Todd, who was brandishing a handgun at the home of former US vice-presidential candidate
Track Palin, the oldest son of former Alaska governor Sarah Palin, was arrested Saturday night after an alleged domestic violence incident involving his parents in Wasilla, Alaska, according to court records. It was the second time in two years he has been arrested on charges related to domestic violence.
Court records show Track Palin, 28, was arraigned Sunday on charges of burglary, fourth-degree assault and criminal mischief for causing between US$250 and US$999 worth of property damage. There was no lawyer listed for him.
He remained in jail in nearby Palmer, Alaska, as of Monday afternoon.
When Track arrived Todd decided that he was not going to shoot his son when Track came through the window
As officers were en route, Track Palin reportedly broke a window to get inside the house and began assaulting his father, the affidavit stated. When police arrived, they found Track Palin moving in and out of the home, calling officers “peasants,” and at one point climbing to the roof through an upstairs window and lying down. After some time, police were able to detain Track Palin “without incident.”
