MOTHER OF BRISTOL PALIN'S BOYFRIEND ARRESTED

ANCHORAGE, Alaska - Alaska state police have arrested the mother of
Bristol Palin's boyfriend on drug charges. Palin is the daughter of
Gov. Sarah Palin.

Sherry L. Johnston was arrested Thursday after officers served a
search warrant on a Wasilla home. The 42-year-old Johnston has been
charged with six felony drug counts.

Troopers did not identify the drug involved in a brief mention on the
agency's Web site.

Johnston is the mother of 18-year-old Levi Johnston. Sarah Palin, the
Republican nominee for vice president, announced in September that her
18-year-old daughter, Bristol, was pregnant and Johnston was the father.

Sherry Johnston was released from jail on $5,000 bail.
