Story highlights
Washington (CNN)Sarah Palin's oldest son beat up his father this weekend, according to court records.
The
incident happened at the Palin home in Wasilla, Alaska, where Track
Palin bloodied his father, Todd, in a dispute over a truck, according to court records.
The
28-year-old was arrested on three charges, including assault, after the
incident Saturday. The dispute began when he called to say he wanted to
come get the truck, and his father refused, according to court
documents.
Track
Palin was arrested on charges of first-degree burglary, fourth-degree
assault and fourth-degree criminal mischief, and his father suffered
injuries to his face and head, the court filing shows.
Track
Palin called the officers on the scene "peasants" and told them to
abandon their weapons when they attempted to communicate with him, the
documents say. At one point, he got onto the garage roof before
eventually being detained, the court filing says.
Sarah
Palin said her son was "freaking out" and "was on some type of
medication," according to the court documents. Track Palin also told the
police he had consumed a few beers earlier, the documents say.
The
incident is not his first arrest related to domestic violence. He was
arrested in early 2016 and charged with domestic violence assault
involving a female, interfering with a report of domestic violence and
possession of a weapon while intoxicated.
Sarah Palin attributed her son's actions in 2016 to his time serving overseas.
"What
my own son is going through, what he is going through coming back, I
can relate to other families who feel ramifications of PTSD and some of
the woundedness that our soldiers do return with," the former Republican vice presidential candidate and governor of Alaska said at the time.
"And it makes me realize, more than ever, it is now or never for the
sake of America's finest that we have that commander in chief who will
respect them and honor them."
