The police department in Wasilla, Alaska, told CBS that they encountered Track Palin after responding to a residence for a report of a disturbance at about 10 p.m.

According to court documents, Track Palin punched his girlfriend in the eye, kicked her and then threatened to shoot himself in the head with an AR-15 assault rifle.

He was held without bail and was expected to be arraigned Tuesday. CBS reported that Track Palin was charged with three misdemeanor counts for assault, allegedly possessing the gun while intoxicated, and for interfering with a domestic violence report.
