The 9/11 attacks prompted Track Palin to enlist in the Army and he spent a year deployed in Iraq. When his mother became the Republican vice-presidential candidate in 2008, she spoke at his deployment ceremony in Fairbanks, one of her few trips back to Alaska while on the campaign trail that fall. The oldest son of former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin was arraigned Sunday December 17 2017 on domestic violence charges against his father, according to online court records and sources. Track Palin was arrested after his mother called 911. The assault charge involved father Todd Palin as “the victim” and the burglary charge stems from an incident at the home of Sarah and Todd Palin. Palin was also arrested in January 2016 in Wasilla, on charges of assault, interfering with a domestic violence report and misconduct involving weapons. Palin pleaded guilty to misconduct involving weapons charge for possessing a weapon while intoxicated, online court records show. The assault charge and interfering with a report of domestic violence charge were dismissed by the prosecution.
