Juneau, AK (AHN) - Diana Palin, the sister-in-law of of Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin, the first female Republican vice presidential candidate. has been arrested for breaking into a home for the second time this week to steal money, according to the Anchorage Daily News.
Palin, 35, is detained at Mat-Su Pretrial Facility for felony burglary, misdemeanor theft and criminal trespass charges. She was arrested on Thursday after being caught trying to burglarize a home near Wasilla's Multi-Use Sports Complex. The owner of the home had caught her and called police before she could steal any money.
Police believe Palin, who claims to have mistaken the home for a house of a friend, broke into the home earlier this week. According to reports her 4-year-old daughter was with her when she was arrested.
Palin is the half-sister of the governor's husband, Todd.
The governor, who was previously mayor of Wasilla, is credited with renewing enthusiasm for the GOP, but she suffered a significant drop in poll ratings during the last months of the presidential race last year.
Critics had also said she falsely claimed to have opposed a controversial project called "the Bridge to Nowhere," and tried to stifle a three-month long ethics investigation into her dismissal of an Alaska state official.
