Track Palin, Sarah Palin’s son, entered a plea deal last week, in a domestic violence case that included charges that included him punching his girlfriend in the face, Alaska Dispatch News reported.

Police in Wasilla, Alaska arrested Track Palin in January. 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.

The state dropped two of the three misdemeanor charges against Track Palin in the agreement the two agreed to. The dropped charges included the domestic-violence assault and interfering with a report of a domestic-violence crime, the newspaper reported.

“Track pled to misconduct involving weapons (in the fourth degree), concerning being under the influence and having a firearm,” Kevin Fitzgerald,Track Palin’s attorney, told the publication.

While campaigning for Donald Trump, Sarah Palin suggested that her son’s arrest was due to PTSD. Track Palin served in the U.S. military.

  2. The difference is that the Kardashians don’t pretend to be anything more than they are.

  3. Kids, you know? You’re all set to go to the GOP Convention and give a major speech and what happens? This one gets knocked up, that one’s got court appearances, it never fails.

    Mum is too far away from her “kids” to exercise adult supervision. Track has been off-track for a while. The only guy who seems to manage to get out and about under the radar is hubby. This family should get out of the limelight. They do light no good.

  5. No more guns for you kid. I wonder if he is allowed to come to thankgiving dinner unarmed?
