PALMER — Track Palin, the 28-year-old son of former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin, was arrested on assault and burglary charges after he repeatedly hit his father, Todd Palin, at the family home Saturday, charging documents say.

Wasilla police came to the Palin home after Sarah Palin called them just after 8:30 p.m. to say her son was "freaking out and was on some type of medication," according to a sworn affidavit filed in court by Wasilla officer Adam LaPointe.

Track Palin came to the house to confront his father over a truck he wanted to pick up, according to the affidavit. Todd Palin told his son not to come because he'd been drinking and taking pain medication.

"Track told him he was (going to) come anyway to beat his ass," LaPointe wrote.

Todd Palin told the officer he got his pistol to "protect his family" and met his son with the gun when he came to the door, according to the affidavit.

Track Palin broke a window and came through it, and put his father on the ground, the report states. He began hitting him on the head.

Todd Palin escaped and left the house. He suffered injuries to his face and head, the officer wrote. He was bleeding from several cuts on his head and had liquid coming from his ear.

Oh my!

[snowybirdie]

1. Regardless of who they are

This is a very sad commentary on a family. Pulling a gun on your son!

[speaktruthtopower]

4. Agreed

[AJT]

15. So he had the gun to protect his family....then ran out of the house and left them there?

[demmiblue]

54. That was kind of a WTF detail.

Although, I suppose he may have wanted to lure Track away from the house.

Who really knows with this crew.

[janterry]

2. Medication?

Oh, I get it, Sarah. Other people do drugs.

Your son misused a medication

[TheBlackAdder]

32. Medication and drinking? He's going on a Two-Way Trip.

[FreeStateDemocrat]

48. Inside out!

[MineralMan]

3. Republican Family Values, I Guess.

[TheBlackAdder]

35. Nine months before he was born, Todd & Sarah got off on the wrong Track.

[Fullduplexxx]

5. Wtf "liquid coming from his ears"?wtf .. booze or brains?

[demmiblue]

9. Worst case scenario would be cerebrospinal fluid. n/t

Edit: worst case as meaning that he suffered significant trauma, not that it is a medical emergency.

[mercuryblues]

13. fluid around the brain

That is a serious head injury.

[leftynyc]

6. Needing a gun to protect you

from your son. Glad to see the scum is still in jail.

[TheBlackAdder]

36. Got a gun, didn't use it. Luckily, Track didn't take it from him and use it on his dad and family.

[Egnever]

55. Yup very lucky he was not killed with his own gun.

I used to hear never point a gun unless you intend to use it. In this case apparently it was just for show. That is exactly how it gets taken away and used on you.

[LonePirate]

7. Is Sarah going to blame the sitting president like she did a couple of years ago with Track?

[HAB911]

8. White trash drama

[Sanity Claws]

10. Pain medication?

Opioid addiction?

[shanny]

11. Wasilla has been known as the meth capital of Alaska

just sayin'

[demmiblue]

12. TBH, that was my first thought. n/t

[Dulcinea]

18. Opioids or meth. nt

[Blue_true]

14. Republican family values from the Wasilla hillbillies. nt

[smirkymonkey]

16. This family is such trash!

All of them.

[Tikki]

17. I am sure they have plenty of guns hanging around...

Just what they will tell us is needed in a situation exactly like this.


Tikki

[Bengus81]

19. Who the hell names their kid Track??

Same one's that drive around on snow "machines" and want to legally shoot wolves from helo's?!?!? White TRASH who live so close to Russia you can see it from her porch.

[Dulcinea]

20. Rednecks.

They're big on made-up names. They think they're being original, I guess.

[jmowreader]

24. It gets worse

Her oldest son is named after a snowmobile part.

Oldest daughter Bristol is named after the city ESPN’s studio is in.

Middle daughter Willow after a tree.

Young daughter Piper after their first Airplane.

And I’m not sure what Trig comes from.

The worst is their first grandchild. Tripp Easton Mitchell Johnson. The father is a hockey player, and the three names are all brands of hockey equipment.

[elehhhhna]

25. Trig Trisomy g

The generic aberration that causes down syndrome

[Sanity Claws]

30. Really?

I knew it wasn't trigonometry.

[elehhhhna]

33. Yep. Coincidence? I think not

[RhodeIslandOne]

51. WEHT Q-Bert?

LOL

[Buns_of_Fire]

26. Good thing they kept the twins, Muffler and Carburetor, out of the public eye. nt

[brer cat]

38. ...

[jmowreader]

21. I hear a lot of that happens in the Mat-Su

IIRC Wasilla is the meth capital of Alaska.

[snooper2]

40. Wasilla is a shithole- Back when Failin was running I would read the weekly police reports

For a town around 10K people, the cops sure stay busy LOL

22. I guess you can only live with a name like that for so long before you snap.

[lpbk2713]

23. He's a troubled yoot.

No wait ... he's 28?


Most people have grown up by that age.

[applegrove]

27. Pain medication they said somewhere else . That must be terrifying to his family.

I hope he gets help soon. Don't wish opioid addiction on any family.

[47of74]

28. How come Todd didn't stand his ground?

If a minority had shown up under the influence of pain pills and alcohol you know that's what Todd would have done. And if not had every conservative and their sibling asking why he didn't stand his ground.

[Turbineguy]

29. Hmmm...... Perhaps I was hasty....with my judgment

That family is worse than the Trump clan, which makes Sarah Palin qualified as a republican candidate for president to replace Trump.

[Kali]

31. can you imagine the WINNING and CLASS if tinyhands had picked her for VP?

the combo of trash, flags, and gold fakery would REALLY MAGA!!!!

[Crunchy Frog]

34. We could have had all this in the Whitehouse.

And it would have been better than what we've got now.

[Irish_Dem]

37. What would have happened if I told my father I was "going to beat his ass." ???

I would not be here to type this post.

[FSogol]

39. Palin Hootenanny Time! I found the police sketch diagramming the incident

I hope they get some help for their obviously out-of-control addict son with major anger problems.

[FSogol]

47. Thanks. I should have added that. n/t

[demmiblue]

49. No prob. After all this time, I still lol at that pic (and the story-telling).

Too, too funny... thanks for posting it!

[tazkcmo]

41. Love it

As The Trash Turns. My favorite soap.

[CentralMass]

42. That is very sad.

[irisblue]

44. You said it.

Nothing good is coming from that family.

[VOX]

43. Assaulting the *First Dude*? Happiness is a family home evening of fisticuffs.

The Snowbillies seem almost quaint now, what with #45’s deep-dish insanity and old-school fascist aspirations.

[spanone]

45. republican family values.

[MyNameGoesHere]

50. It's been a long time since news of the Wasilla hillbillies

continuing saga has been heard about. Glad to see them still acting like trash.

[Paladin]

52. These trashy creeps ought to sell broadcast rights, next time around.

I'd hate to enrich this band of knuckle-draggers, but a pay-for-view opportunity has a certain appeal to it.....

[livetohike]

53. Im surprised Track didnt have a gun and use it. Nothing

good coming out of that family. I don’t know anyone who beat their father up, or even tried. I’m 65 years old.
