Did you hear Track Palin was arrested in 2005 for vandalizing 44 buses then given the option: jail or military?
A 16 year old, two 17 year olds, and an 18 year old were arrested by Alaska state troopers for vandalizing school buses, closing 31 of the districts 36 schools.
They were juveniles at the time so Track's name was omitted, but he is reportedly the 16 year old minor in the story:

Here is some more information on the exemplary Palin kids:

Relevance? He was 16 and stupid. Kids do stupid things. I don't like Sarah Palin at all, but I don't think this line of inquiry is useful. In any case, although this would definitely be held against a democratic candidate as evidence of a lack of moral base in the family or some nonsense, you know that conservatives will just find this another example of how she's a "real" person with a "real" family and look how well her son has turned out now, etc.... I'm actually stunned by the degree of hypocrisy among her supporters, but, other than that, I am not particularly interested in the mistakes and problems of her kids (and it seems to wind up helping her in any case!)
