Johnston is the mother of Levi Johnston, the Wasilla 18-year-old who received international attention in September when Gov. Sarah Palin and her husband, Todd, announced their teenage daughter was pregnant and he was the father. Bristol Palin, 18, is due on Saturday, according to a recent interview with the governor’s father, Chuck Heath.

Troopers served the warrant at Johnston’s home at the "conclusion of an undercover narcotics investigation," said a statement issued Thursday by the troopers as part of the normal daily summary of activity around the state.

Troopers charged Johnston with second-degree misconduct involving a controlled substance — generally manufacturing or delivering drugs — as well as fourth-degree misconduct involving controlled substances, or possession.

Troopers released no other information, including the kind or amount of drugs, because details could jeopardize an ongoing investigation, spokeswoman Megan Peters said.

Asked how long the investigation had proceeded before Johnston’s arrest, Peters would only say "a while."

The Palmer District Attorney’s office had no comment.

Sherry Johnston was arrested around noon and booked at Mat-Su Pretrial Facility, according to a booking officer there. She was released on a $5,000 unsecured bond just after 2 p.m.

No charging documents had been filed at Palmer courthouse by the end of the day, a clerk said.

Levi Johnston sat with Bristol and the rest of the Palin family in St. Paul, Minn., during Gov. Palin’s speech to the Republican National Convention, and he joined the family on the stage afterwards.

When asked about the arrest, Palin’s spokesman, Bill McAllister, issued the following statement by e-mail: "This is not a state government matter. Therefore the governor’s communications staff will not be providing comment or scheduling interview opportunities."

Johnston didn’t come to the door of her home on Caribou Loop Road outside Wasilla on Thursday afternoon. A teenage boy who answered the door said he couldn’t provide any information.

This family will never get old.
its a shame how the liberal media keeps intruding on their PERSONAL AFFIRS
lol, manufacturing or delivering drugs.

that’s rich.

you don’t manufacture marijuana

was she a crack head?
why do you think so many white trash americans wanted to vote for palin? its because they could identify with that type of family.

was she a crack head?

isn’t meth the big drug up there?

Meth is big everywhere, however I’ve never seen it. And I’ve seen almost every drug. Actually, I take that back… I saw some at a Bonnaroo a few years back.

fucking truth

if she hadn’t pushed her personal affairs in their face, they wouldn’t intrude nearly as much - if this was "the liberal media" why didn’t they say anything about mccains 7 kids? he didn’t parade them on stage and talk about their personal affairs to the public

and the media was begging to find something to use against chelsea clinton - liberal media my ass

or maybe you’re just trolling and i have no idea who you are since i’m not on these boards often enough…
Sounds like she’s all set to become a senator or president with all the corruption and scandals already in DC.

I honestly don’t know. But I do find it funny.

Good idea.
When I first saw this reported I figured it was simple possession, and to report that was kind of

But if she was actually selling them

Talk about guilt by association.

If that’s the game, I’ll raise you one:

ron paul is part of the liberal media

your sense of humor is about a year late

and incredibly poor

even if you are a troll, you suck at it - try bringing up something new and/or relevant
Because Palin has so much control over this lady’s personal doings this matters.
