Sarah Palin's son Track arrested at her home

Sarah Palin's son Track arrested at her home, girlfriend 'concerned' he 'would shoot himself' 
The day before former Alaska governor Sarah Palin offered her high-stakes, high-profile endorsement of Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump, her son Track Palin was arrested on domestic-violence charges after a fight with his girlfriend, who said she was concerned he would take his own life with an AR-15 rifle.



Sounds as though Track may be having emotional problems. PTSD? I'm being serious, not snarky. He is a war veteran after all.
