WASILLA, ALASKA (Dec. 19) - The mother of the man engaged to Gov. Sarah Palin's teenage daughter was arrested at her home as part of an undercover drug investigation Thursday, according to the Anchorage Daily News.
The newspaper reports that Sherry L. Johnston, 42, the mother of Levi Johnston, faces six felony counts of "misconduct involving a controlled substance." The arrest came after Alaska State Troopers searched her home.
Law enforcement officials released little information to the paper, saying the investigation was continuing. The charges against Johnston include second-degree misconduct involving a controlled substance, which the Daily News says generally applies to "manufacturing or delivering drugs."
Johnston's son, Levi, appeared at the Republican National Convention beside Alaska's first family, as Gov. Sarah Palin was tapped as the vice presidential candidate.
Palin's daughter Bristol, 18, is pregnant, and the baby's due date is Saturday. Levi Johnston is the father, and the two are engaged, although no wedding plans have been announced.

In-laws acting like Kennedys, eh?
In this case, I think it’s legit.
It’s Sarah Palin’s fault!
Dollars to donuts this will kick Blago news right off the front page. An early Christmas gift to the RATs.
I wonder if Alaska is rethinking about why they joined the USofA?
I wonder if Monegan’s friends are behind this.
Didn’t our Pres. Elect admit to using cocaine?
When they secede, I'm moving to Alaska.
Bush’s fault.
Sounds like a meth lab. Obviously,this will disqualify Sarah
for running for national office.Only Kennedys are allowed to
get away with this!
What “substance”? (I’m betting meth, judging from the picture accompanying the article.)
oh man...this day is going from bad to worse...
LOoL -you can pick your nose but not your in-laws.....
We have a term used locally “Valley Trash”
The stnading joke is if the cops radied every home in the vally, the ones without a meth lab would have a grow operation.
If you hadn’t heard, grass is legal in AK under state law, up to 4 oz in posession for ‘personal use” IIRC.
Oddly, while drug use is a major problem, it pales to the problems caused by alcohol abuse.
SHOCKING- Next thing you know we will find out that Caroline Kennedy has an Uncle that got drunk, drove his car off a bridge, and drowned his passenger!
Didn’t you know? Mary Jo “stole” that car.
Legit in what way? Legit in that Sarah is involved with her(maybe)future MIL, legit in that they tie this to Sarah although she has nothing what so ever to do with it? Just what do you mean legit?
Personally Sarah's and Palin's names should be left out of the report and the report should have mentioned only the suspected drug dealer/user. This is just the MSM taking another shot as Sarah, they will continue to do so, constantly trying to ruin her.
Or a grandfather who was a bootlegger and anti-semite who passed secrets to our enemies.
