From the
Anchorage Daily News:
Wasilla police came to the Palin home Saturday after Sarah Palin called just after 8:30 p.m. to say her son was "freaking out and was on some type of medication," according to a sworn affidavit filed in court by Wasilla officer Adam LaPointe.
Track Palin came to the house to confront his father over a truck he wanted to pick up, according to the affidavit. Todd Palin told his son not to come because he'd been drinking and taking pain medication.
...
Todd Palin told the officer he got his pistol to "protect his family" and met his son with the gun when he came to the door, according to the affidavit.
...
As police arrived, they saw two vehicles leaving the home: Todd Palin was in the first, and officers could see blood running down his face, LaPointe wrote.
Sarah Palin, in the second, was "visibly upset," he wrote. Officers learned Track Palin was alone in the house, and they could hear yelling coming from inside.
...
"Track stood on the porch," LaPointe wrote. "Communication was attempted which failed due to Track yelling and calling myself and other officers peasants and telling us to lay our guns on the ground before approaching the residence."
Palin walked back in and the officers saw him moving around, the affidavit states. Then he came out an upstairs window onto the garage roof.
"He moved around in a strange manner and assumed a prone position just behind the roof line in what appeared to be an attempt to locate officers on the property," LaPointe wrote.
He went back inside, the officer wrote, but communication was re-established after 10 or 15 minutes of silence and Palin came back outside to talk.
...
At the time of his arrest Saturday, Palin was serving two years of probation on a plea deal stemming from a January 2016 domestic violence arrest at the family home.

More at the link. In August 2016 Track cut a deal for a domestic violence arrest in January. His case was transferred to Anchorage Veterans Court, which helps vets through treatment for substance abuse. According to the stipulations:
Track Palin will have to complete a regime of "alcohol-related" treatment under the terms of this week's agreement, Fitzgerald said. Upon successful completion of the treatment, the weapons-misconduct charge will be expunged from his record. But if that doesn't happen, Palin will receive a 180-day suspended jail sentence and be placed under informal probation for two years.
...
Details of Track Palin's treatment regime were still being worked out following a Tuesday evaluation, Campion said. Although the nature of his program will remain confidential between him and the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs, prosecutors retain the option to revisit the case if Palin doesn't complete its requirements.
"We'll get constant status reports and updates on his progress," Campion said.

As of October 2016 Trak hadn't signed on to the treatment program. His latest arrest notes he is currently serving two years' probation from the 2016 arrest so it appears he never completed the treatment program.
And in September 2016 Track started a fight with his younger sister's ex-boyfriend, which turned into a huge brawl. The prosecutor didn't go forward with any charges.

The entire Palin family is highly dysfunctional IMO and whether it's PTSD, drug related or mental illness that causes Track to lash out he needs to be brought under control and sequestered from society until he no longer poses a threat to others or himself. MOO.
