Sarah Palin’s son arrested on domestic violence claims

ANCHORAGE, Alaska >> Court documents say that Track Palin, the oldest son of former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin, was arrested on charges related to domestic violence again.

He was arraigned today on three counts of felony burglary, misdemeanor reckless assault and misdemeanor criminal mischief.

He remained jailed in Palmer, Alaska, as of this afternoon.

Track Palin previously faced domestic violence charges in 2016.

Court records say he was suspected of punching his girlfriend, who then became concerned that Palin was going to shoot himself with a rifle.

He took a plea deal that resulted in some of the charges being dismissed and he pleaded guilty to misdemeanor possessing a firearm while intoxicated.

Attorney John Tiemessen, who said he represents Sarah Palin, acknowledged the arrest today and asked for privacy.

No attorney was listed for Track Palin.
