Burglary, Trespassing Charges
ANCHORAGE, Alaska (AP) - A half sister of Gov. Sarah Palin's husband is charged with breaking into the same home twice with the intention of stealing money.
Thirty-five-year-old Diana Palin of Palmer is charged with two counts of felony burglary and misdemeanor counts of criminal trespass and theft in connection with the break-ins this week at a home in Wasilla, the governor's hometown.
According to charging documents, Diana Palin's 4-year-old daughter was with her during the break-in yesterday (Thursday) morning.
Diana Palin made her first appearance in court Friday afternoon. Meghan Stapleton, a spokeswoman for the governor's family, says the family had no comment.
Deputy Wasilla Police Chief Greg Wood says Diana Palin was confronted by the homeowner, who hid in the home to see if he could catch the burglar who stole $400 Tuesday night.
Wood says tire tracks and shoe prints tied the woman to the scene in both burglaries.
