If I punched a woman in the face where she was bruised and battered, I doubt I would have gotten such a light sentence, but I digress.
Sarah Palin’s son Track has avoided jail after being charged with punching his girlfriend in the face and drunkenly threatening to shoot himself with an AR-15 assault rifle.
The oldest son of the former Alaska Governor was arrested in a domestic violence case in January.
Court documents say the woman, Track’s girlfriend of one year, had bruising and swelling around her left eye, and she said her right knee hurt after he kicked her there.
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.
It adds that the woman told police Palin was yelling: ‘Do you think I won’t do it?’
Sounds like a swell guy.
Sarah Palin blamed President Obama for her son being a domestic abuser.
