Track Palin Was Arrested on Domestic Violence Charges

It has been a busy day for the Palin camp! In a few minutes’ time, matriarch Sarah Palin will be taking the stage in Iowa to confirm her endorsement of Donald Trump for president. Her daughter, Bristol Palin, released a heavily trafficked blog post on the subject today. Also her son, Track Palin, also got arrested last night!

Track — whose past is littered with allegations of drug use and who was involved in a drunken brawl with the rest of his family in 2014 — got picked up last night in Wasilla on domestic violence and weapons charges. All of the charges he faces are misdemeanors.

When contacted by Radar Online, the Wasilla Police Department said the following:

On 01/18/2016 at approximately 2204 hours, Wasilla Police responded to a residence for a disturbance.  An investigation revealed Track Palin had committed a domestic violence assault on a female, interfered with her ability to report a crime of domestic violence, and possessed a firearm while intoxicated.  Palin was arrested and charges of assault in the fourth degree (domestic violence), interfering with a domestic violence report, and misconduct involving weapons in the fourth degree were forwarded to the District Attorney’s Office.  Palin was held without bail until arraignment.
