The incident took place at a house party on Sept. 6, police said. When officers first arrived, they saw multiple people leading a man, later identified as Track Palin, to a limousine. When one officer approached the limousine, Sarah Palin reportedly told her son to cooperate with the officer.

Track told the officer that it had been his father’s birthday and that they had left a party in Wasilla to go to a friend’s house where another birthday party was happening. During the party, Track claimed that “some guys were talking rudely to his sisters,” the police report read. As Track and his sisters, Willow and Bristol, left the party with another friend, Track said an unknown person sucker punched their friend, prompting the fight.

The son of the former Alaskan governor said that he could not identify the attackers. His father, Todd Palin, told officers that the sucker punch escalated the situation to a point that the Palins couldn’t walk away from it.

Multiple other partygoers claimed that Track had started the fight, and that the Palins had been asked to leave the party after Bristol threatened to beat up another guest. One witness said he saw Bristol Palin punch the owner of the house in the face multiple times before he “picked her up, brought her from the yard to the street and put her down” and telling the Palin family to leave.

The police report notes that the Track and Bristol Palin both appeared intoxicated following the fight and that officers “had a hard time getting [Track] to calm down.”

The police report doesn’t indicate that Sarah Palin was interviewed by police. No arrests were made and no charges will be filed in connection with the fight.
