Track Palin, son of former Alaska governor and Republican vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin, was released from an Anchorage halfway house on Thursday after a judge granted him credit for time spent wearing an electronic monitoring device.
Palin was sentenced to a year in the halfway house after breaking into his parents’ home and leaving his father bleeding from cuts on his head. While he was given a chance to complete a veterans’ therapy program as an alternative to jail, he was dismissed from the program after assaulting his girlfriend, a case for which he still faces misdemeanor charges.
