Sarah Palin's son Track arrested on burglary, assault charge in Alaskan town where his mom was mayor
Track Palin, the Army veteran son of former Alaska governor Sarah Palin, was busted on burglary and assault charges Saturday, court records show. The 28-year-old was arraigned Sunday morning after his arrest in Wasilla, where his mother served as mayor before running alongside Sen. John McCain during the 2008 presidential election.
Palin also faces a misdemeanor criminal mischief charge for causing nearly $1,000 in property damage following an unspecified domestic violence incident, according to records. Wasilla police did not immediately respond to a request for more information. John Tiemessen, a lawyer for the Palin family, declined to comment on the arrest.
"Given the nature of actions addressed last night by law enforcement and the charges involved, the Palins are unable to comment further,” 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 arrested for a domestic violence dispute in 2016. He was accused of punching and kicking his girlfriend before threatening to take his own life. Palin’s firebrand mom said the arrest stemmed from post-traumatic stress disorder from his military service.
