Track Palin, son of former Gov. Sarah Palin, arrested for assaulting his father
Track Palin, the 28-year-old son of former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin, was arrested on assault and burglary charges….
The charges mark his second domestic-violence arrest in not quite two years. …
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. …
Palin told the officer he’d had a few beers earlier….
Track Palin had driven to the house, found the front door locked and saw his father pointing a gun at him through a window next to the door, the officer wrote. He told his father several times to shoot him, then punched out the window when his father tapped it with the gun.
“Track stated he then went through the broken window and disarmed Todd and put him on the ground,” the affidavit says. “While Track had Todd on the ground he started hitting Todd in the head. Todd was able to get away….”
