ANCHORAGE, Alaska (AP) — The oldest son of former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin was arrested in a domestic violence case in which his girlfriend was afraid he would shoot himself with an AR-15 assault rifle, according to court documents filed Tuesday.
Track Palin, 26, is charged with assault, interfering with the report of a domestic violence crime and possessing a weapon while intoxicated in connection with the incident Monday night at the Wasilla home of his parents, where he lives, according to an affidavit by police.
The girlfriend told authorities she was punched in the face by Palin, who is the oldest child of Sarah Palin, the 2008 Republican vice presidential nominee and conservative leader.
The charges were filed Tuesday, the same day Sarah Palin endorsed Republican presidential front-runner Donald Trump before voting begins with the Iowa caucuses.
According to the three-page affidavit, both Palin and his girlfriend called 911 that night. Police Officer Andrew Kappler wrote that he arrived at the Wasilla home and found Track Palin walking outside and talking on a phone. The officer said Palin had an injury to his right eye and surrounding area, smelled strongly of alcohol and acted with escalating hostility, prompting Kappler to put him in handcuffs.
Police say a breath sample provided by Palin showed he had a blood alcohol level of 0.189.
The affidavit says other officers found the girlfriend hiding under a bed inside the home and crying.
The argument continued at the home, according to the affidavit, which says Palin struck the woman with his fist on the left side of her head near her eye. She curled up in the fetal position because she didn't know what else he would do, the woman told police. She said he then kicked her in the knee and threw her phone across the driveway, according to the court document. The woman said she went inside after getting her phone.
Inside, Palin held the rifle, with the barrel just away from his face pointed to the side, the affidavit states. The affidavit adds that the woman told police Palin was yelling "Do you think I won't do it?"
The girlfriend "was concerned that he would shoot himself and ran outside and around the house," the affidavit says. "She didn't see where Palin went, so she went inside and up the stairs, where she hid under a bed."

SO Palin decides to stump for trump, the day after the son is arrested.!!!!!!!!!!! im sure she had it in mind for a while, as she seems to want the department of energy job....even tho she really wants the dept of the interior. (she is confused as to the department that deals with oil/gas/etc.)
NOW she is saying that Track is suffering from PTSD (and thats why he attacked the girl) and is blaming it on obama for not caring about vets

Don't blame President Obama for the PTSD that Sarah Palin claims her oldest son is battling.
That was the message Wednesday from the head of a New York City-based veteran's organization that has fought for years to get Iraq and Afghanistan war vets help with their post traumatic stress disorder.
"It's not President Obama's fault that Sarah Palin's son has PTSD," said Paul Rieckhoff, who heads Iraq and Afghanistan Veterans of America (IAVA). "PTSD is a very serious problem, a complicated mental health injury and I would be extremely reluctant to blame any one person in particular."

Rieckhoff weighed in after Palin said her son Track's arrest on domestic violence charges this week stemmed from the PTSD he contracted after serving with the Army in Iraq — and because of Obama's supposed lack of "respect" for veterans.

OK... I get what PTSD is, I know what it can do, ,I get the reasons, I get the facts, I get the harm it does to the guys and girls who fight, and other PTSD sufferers AND how it can affect their families.
I get that many many vets have committed suicide since coming back from the shit war brings.
I get that a while lot more are damaged and in danger of doing damage to others they dont really want to hurt. But the fact is they can and do.
But to use his violence against a woman to blame obama is beyond the pale.
Does he deserve jail...dunno if the story is correct, thats to be decided by someone else. But its obvious he is a danger...and there are a lot of people jailed while being mentally ill. THe man needs help. Im sure he will get the best lawyers momma bear can provide.
His mum bringing up his arrest for DV in front of the world to score a political point isnt gonna help him, the girl or anyone in the sad place of having PTSD.
On a personal opinion note, living with that woman would give me PTSD.
