ANCHORAGE, Alaska (AP) — The Latest on a hearing for Track Palin in an assault case (all times local):
2:40 p.m.
Former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin's oldest son has appeared with his father in court in a case stemming from allegations that Track Palin attacked his father.
Father Todd Palin declined to comment Wednesday on his son's case. Track Palin told an Associated Press reporter: "Pay me, and I will."
A judge will decide whether new assault allegations against Track Palin should lead to jail time or whether the 29-year-old Army veteran can stay in a therapeutic program for veterans tied to the attack on Todd less than a year ago.
Track Palin pleaded guilty in Alaska Veterans Court to a lesser charge in that case. He was arrested Friday night after a female acquaintance said he hit her in the head.
A judge will decide whether the new arrest violates conditions in the December case.

A judge will decide whether new assault allegations against Track Palin should lead to jail time or whether he can stay in a therapeutic program for veterans tied to a separate assault case.
Former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin's oldest son was arrested Friday night after a female acquaintance said he hit her in the head. He faces misdemeanor charges including assault, resisting arrest and disorderly conduct.
The 29-year-old Army veteran is set to appear in court Wednesday in Anchorage. A judge will decide whether Track Palin can stay in a program intended to rehabilitate veterans or serve jail time because the new arrest would violate conditions in the previous case.
He was arrested in an attack on his father last December and pleaded guilty to a lesser charge in Alaska Veterans Court.
