Sarah Palin’s Son Charged With Domestic Violence in Alaska

Track Palin, 28, was arrested on similar charges in January 2016.

Sarah Palin’s oldest son was arraigned Sunday morning in Alaska on a series of domestic-violence-related charges, NBC first reported. According to court documents, Track Palin, 28, was charged with felony burglary, assault in the fourth degree, and criminal mischief for causing $250 and $999 worth of property damage. “Given the nature of actions addressed last night by law enforcement and the charges involved, the Palins are unable to comment further,” a family attorney John Tiemessen said in a statement. “They ask that the family’s privacy is respected during this challenging situation just as others dealing with a struggling family member would also request.” Palin was also arrested on domestic-violence charges in January 2016—an incident that led to his mother infamously blaming her son’s post-traumatic stress disorder on what she described as President Obama’s lack of “respect” for the troops. The younger Palin pleaded guilty back then to possessing a weapon while intoxicated, and the prosecution dropped all other charges.
