From Gawker:
Today is a big day for Sarah Palin. She is in Iowa to endorse Donald Trump, which will shore up Trump’s standing with Real Americans and once again give the Palin family a moment in the national spotlight. But things back home aren’t as rosy: Yesterday, Palin’s son, Track, was charged in Wasilla with weapons and assault offenses.
Per online court records, Track Palin, 26, was charged yesterday with assault, interfering with a report of domestic violence, and possession of a weapon while intoxicated. All three charges are misdemeanors. Here’s a screenshot of the charges as they appear online. Spokespersons with both the Wasilla Police Department and the district attorney’s office confirmed their existence:

Screenshot of the official charges:
Remember, Track was the kid who was given the choice of going to jail or serving in the Iraq War, back before his mom was tapped as John McCain’s running mate. You don’t suppose Sarah Palin endorsed Trump today in an attempt to distract from her son’s legal woes, do you?
LoL what a train wreck.
Update 1 (h/t Antitheist):
