According to an affidavit filed by Wasilla police officer Adam LaPointe, it was Sarah Palin who called police to say her son was "freaking out and was on some type of medication."
When police arrived at a home at approximately 8:37 p.m. on Saturday evening, the affidavit states, police encountered Todd Palin, Track Palin's father, leaving the residence in a vehicle with "injuries to his face and head, based on the visible blood running down his face."
In a second vehicle leaving the home was Sarah Palin, described as "visibly upset," according to the affidavit.
The police account said Track Palin could be heard yelling from inside the house and was detained without incident only after multiple attempts at communicating with him.
Police records show that Track Palin told the arresting officer there was a dispute with his father over a vehicle.
According to the affidavit, "Track stated that he had a disagreement and that there had been threats made between them. Track stated that he then drove over to Todd's house and when he arrived Todd had a gun in his hand. Track stated that he attempted to open the front door. When the door did not open he looked through the window next to the door and saw Todd pointing a gun at him. Track stated he told Todd to shoot him several times."
Track Palin then said he broke the window and "went through the broken window and disarmed Todd and put him on the ground. While Track had Todd on the ground he started hitting Todd in the head. Todd was able to get away from Track and get out of the residence," the affidavit states.
In a later interview, Todd Palin said that he retrieved his pistol to "protect his family" and that "when Track arrived, Todd decided that he was not going to shoot his son when Track came through the window."
