Palin 'stalker' Christy and his father arrested by FBI

Pennsylvania's The Morning Call reports that the FBI has announced the arrest of Shawn Christy and his father Craig Christy for allegedly harassing Sarah Palin, her family, friends and attorneys by phone. An Alaska magistrate last year granted a restraining order against the younger Christy on behalf of Palin and Kristan Cole, a friend and treasurer of two Palin legal defense funds. In February, the younger Christy made headlines by traveling to Anchorage and staying two days, but he wasn't arrested. The arrest Thursday followed federal indictments issued by an Alaska grand jury on Wednesday, but federal court records are not yet available. Read more, here. The Associated Press has also filed a report on the matter.
