Very ugly reports out of Alaska and why Sarah Palin’s son, Track, was arrested.
Police records show that Track Palin told the arresting officer the dispute with his father was over a vehicle.
According to the affidavit, “Track stated that he had a disagreement and that there had been threats made between them. Track stated that he then drove over to Todd’s house and when he arrived Todd had a gun in his hand. Track stated that he attempted to open the front door. When the door did not open he looked through the window next to the door and saw Todd pointing a gun at him. Track state he told Todd to shoot him several times.”
Track Palin then claimed he broke the window then “went through the broken window and disarmed Todd and put him on the ground. While Track had Todd on the ground he started hitting Todd in the head. Todd was able to get away from Track and get out of the residence,” the affidavit states.
In a later interview, Todd Palin claimed he retrieved his pistol to “protect his family,” and that “When Track arrived Todd decided that he was not going to shoot his son when Track came through the window.”
Palin mentioned before in January last year that Track was suffering from PTSD because of his time in the military. When she called the police on him, she told them he was likely under the influence of medication.
Just awful. There’s a lot of liberals gleefully mocking the Palins because of this, but it’s clear that the family is very troubled, and that’s not something people should take joy in.
