Sarah Palin’s Beloved “Track” Beats Up Girlfriend, Threatens Suicide With Assault Rifle
Notorious Bible Thumper Sarah Palin might just need to call on Jesus as her son Track Palin’s girlfriend feared he would shoot himself with an assault rifle after he hit her during a drunken argument at Sarah Palin’s Wasilla, Alaska, home, court documents reveal.
Palin, the 26-year-old son of the one-time GOP vice presidential nominee, was arrested for battering his girlfriend during the Monday night fracas, police said.
News of the arrest came Tuesday, just as the elder Palin prepared to endorse Republican presidential frontrunner Donald Trump during an event in Iowa.
Track Palin was scheduled to be arraigned Tuesday afternoon on charges of fourth-degree assault, interfering with the report of a domestic violence crime and possession of a firearm while intoxicated. All the charges are Class A misdemeanors.
The oldest of Sarah Palin’s five children, Track allegedly punched his girlfriend in the eye, kicked her in the knee and then held an AR-15 assault rifle near his head, the 22-year-old woman told police who responded to the incident just after 10 p.m. Monday.
At one point, Track was “holding onto a gun, yelling ‘do you think I’m a p—y?’ and ‘do you think I won’t do it?’”
The woman, whom the Daily News is not identifying, said he “cocked the gun” and was holding it near his face.
“[The woman] was concerned he would shoot himself and ran outside and around the house,” before hiding under a bed. That’s where police, responding to 911 calls from both Track and the woman, found the crying victim when they arrived.
She had “bruising and swelling around her left eye” and “complained of pain to that area as well as to her right knee.” Cops later found an unloaded AR-15 assault rifle on the kitchen counter.
Track, in his statement, told police the couple argued after he learned his girlfriend was in touch with an ex-boyfriend.
He said she hit him in the eye with an elbow during the fight. Police noted he had “swelling and bruise trauma” on his face.
Palin had a blood alcohol content of 0.189, police reported. He also reportedly threw the woman’s cell phone across the driveway after she told him she’d call police. He claimed that at one point in the night, the woman had been drinking and then drove drunk.
The woman has not been arrested or charged.
“An investigation revealed Track Palin had committed a domestic assault on a female, interfered with her ability to report a crime of domestic violence, and possessed a firearm while intoxicated,” Wasilla cops said in a statement to the Daily News. “Palin was held without bail until arraignment.”
John Tiemessen, an attorney for the Palin family, declined to comment other than to say in an email that respect for the family’s privacy is appreciated “as Track receives the help that he and many of our returning veterans need.”
Palin, who spent a year deployed in Iraq with the Army, was arraigned Tuesday, but Tiemessen was not sure if he had entered a plea.
Track Palin was married for one year to his high school sweetheart, Britta Hanson. The couple, who have a daughter named Kyla, filed for divorce in 2012.
Track Palin reportedly broke his ribs during a drunken brawl at an Anchorage party in September 2014. No charges were brought in that incident.
Sarah Palin was on the GOP’s ticket in 2008 for John McCain’s failed presidential bid. And she spent three years as Alaska’s governor before resigning in 2009.

I figure a combination of PTSD, Affluenza and Obamaphobia will be this idiots defense. He’ll get off.
“Grizzly” or not, it doesn’t speak well for the Palins’ parenting skills.
Under most circumstances I wouldn’t hold the parents responsible for the sins of their children, however, the Palin’s are such hypocrites I have no problem with it.
They are hypocrites. Look at who she is stumping for. The guy that made fun of a disabled reporter and she has a boy with Downs and old Walnuts McCain not being a hero because she was captured and old walnuts has been nothing but nice to her. Saying it’s okay if her abstinence only daughter got pregnant twice by two different guys, she is choosing it but no one else can choose what they want to do. Makes me sick.
Oh they spun that nicely using returning vets as an excuse. Mommy will be pissed he took her thunder away from her. I feel bad for all those kids having that screechy harpy as a mom.
I hadn’t heard that. They claimed he was suffering from PTSD?
AYUP. Stolen Valor is all over it today.
Dammit, forgot the link to discharge paperwork that does not show him being in combat at all.

She also blamed President Obama.
Remember too, he got the choice of jail or the military, from that time he cut the brake lines on a bus up in Wasilla. Talking about, please give my family privacy then shouting it through the bullhorn about her family fuck up. Nowhere was the victim of all this mentioned.
Pitiful.
