Good news for Tripp Palin

[Nobar King]

Former Gov. Sarah Palin's grandson will be safe from the perils of drug dealers for at least three years. Who knows what kinds of drugs this woman (the grandmother) would have used to sedate the little angel when under her care:

Levi Johnston's mom pleads guilty, will do prison time

"That's pretty," Johnston said as a court officer placed pink handcuffs - a gift from an Arizona sheriff - around her wrists. Court officers can use their own handcuffs, and the pink ones are a trademark of Sheriff Joe Arpaio in Phoenix's Maricopa County, along with the pink boxer shorts he issues to jail inmates.

PALMER, Alaska — Sherry Johnston pleaded guilty today in state Superior Court to one count of possession with intent to deliver the prescription painkiller oxycodone. Johnston, 43, is the mother of Levi Johnston, who is the father of former Gov. Sarah Palin's grandchild. She lives in Wasilla.

She is scheduled to be sentenced in November. The plea deal calls for her to be sentenced to five years in prison, with two years suspended. Her attorney, Rex Butler, said the deal also includes a three-year probationary period of the prison sentence is served. She was convicted of a Class A felony, which carries a presumptive sentence of five to eight years in prison. The plea deal calls for a shorter prison stint because she possessed a small quantity of the drug and had no previous drug-related convictions.

Assistant District Attorney Rick Allen said it's not unusual for defendants with mitigating factors like Johnston's to get half the minimum sentence. Johnston was charged in December with six felony drug counts involving a prescription painkiller. According to police affidavits, she received OxyContin pills in the mail, then sold 10 pills to a police informant on three occasions in October and November 2008. The meet-ups were in the Wasilla Fred Meyer and Target parking lots, arranged via cell phone text messages.

I hope that law enforcement is paying attention to this story and will increase patrols around Fred Meyer and Target parking lots, as they are obviously the easiest places to deal drugs, due to the large number of cars and shoppers and limited surveillance options.

Thank you for the update.

Perhaps she will find the Lord in the confines of the prison and find Salvation.

Good point... Somehow I missed that one. You're pretty sharp for a chick.

Unfortunately for Tripp, his father still has access to him. We can only pray that Sister Sarah will put a stop to that, PRONTO.

Re: Good news for Tripp Palin

Thank you, Brother Nobar, for publishing the entire article. When I saw the thread title, I was confused about which member of the Palin family it was referring to.

I often find myself confused over the Palin children's names and at first wondered how the family retard could get his hands on the demon weed at his tender age.

Your kindness in showing the whole article cleared that up.

Just remember: Bristol tried to stay celibate but Tripped up, condemning her bastard baby to Hell.

Sarah Palin's baby will eventually be able to count like a horse, by pounding the ground with his meaty hoof. A famous horse was named Trigger. Sarah probably wants to point a gun at Tard and pull the Trigger every day. So he's named Trig, and will never do Trigonometry.

Sheesh, doesn't she know that Benedryl will knock the little darlings out for hours and it's legal.

(I used to use it on Tater when he was young. It gave me and Zeke many hours of quiet time for Bible Study. It seemed a little nicer than constantly locking him in dryer the laundry room. He's so funny now, if ever I even mention the dryer he turns white as a sheet).
