Sarah Palin's Sister-In-Law Arrested For Burglary

ANCHORAGE, Alaska (AP) ― Police in Alaska say state Gov. Sarah Palin's sister-in-law is accused of breaking into the same home twice to steal money.

Deputy Wasilla Police Chief Greg Wood says Diana Palin, 35, was arrested Thursday after she was confronted by the homeowner in the governor's hometown of Wasilla. Palin faces two counts of felony burglary and misdemeanor counts of criminal trespass and theft.

Wood says tire tracks and shoe prints connected Palin to another break-in Tuesday in which $400 was taken. Police have not tied Palin to another burglary at the home last week.

Governor spokeswoman Meghan Stapleton says Palin is the half sister of the governor's husband and the family has no comment.

Diana Palin's husband says his wife has a court-appointed attorney.
