A man was arrested for allegedly throwing two tomatoes at Sarah Palin from the second floor balcony during a book signing event at the Mall of America in Minnesota, MyFoxTwinCities.com. reported.
Neither tomato came close hitting the former 2008 Republican vice presidential nominee, but did hit a police officer in the face, the station reported.
The unidentified man may face charges for assaulting a police officer, according to the station.
Die-hard supporters treated the event like another Black Friday, lining up outside in freezing weather before the mall doors opened at 5 a.m.
Emily Calhoon, a high school junior from Minnetonka, took the day off school with a group of fellow students and arrived at 4:45 a.m. Calhoon, 16, said she likes Palin's conservatism.
"She's a lot more relatable than the stereotypical old rich white male," said Calhoon as she waited in line, clutching a copy of Palin's memoir of her life and political career, "Going Rogue."
The former Alaska governor arrived just before noon. Wearing her trademark red, she took the stage joined by her husband Todd and carrying their son, Trig.
Palin did not address the crowd and did not take questions from the large contingent of reporters. She started signing books immediately.

It’s America’s game and he hates America.
LOL! That’s GREAT!!!!!
We need to get his address and disseminate it over the web. Just for informational purposes. We wouldn’t really want him hurt.
I was watching NFL football, and there was a commercial of kids playing football on the White House lawn, and coming in from the side...no sh*t...wait for it...in super-slo-mo...Barack Hussein Obama.
mmm-mmm-mmm. I wanted to barf.
LOL! Now that's funny right there!
Let’s hope if there is any justice in the world he gets that punishment
didnt google owner say that dont do anything you dont want others to know
YAY another peace loving guy named Jeremiah, I wonder if he’s a fan of his name sake Reverend Wright
No, but I remember the old guys that used to use that term. ;/
gotta pray for her AND her family’s safety.
Glad I missed that.. could have ruined a whole day!
This guy is lucky he didn’t do that in Seattle. With the mood around here, he might have ended up “slipping” off the 2nd floor balcony after hitting the cops.
Why is the man unidentified? Doesn’t the press want to KNOW who he is? Wanna bet he is a liberal activist??
Tolerance: it ain’t found on the left.
Wish I could apologize personally to Sarah...there are a lot of lib a-holes in this state.
Give him to the crowd.
He looks like Steve Urkel with those floods he’s wearing.
Sarah should just take matters into her own hands and carry her shotgun with her on all of these stops. I’d trust her to take care of the matter promptly, should someone try something like that again.
Oh, and this is the 2nd attempt; in Rochester, someone threw eggs at her and missed, but hit a stack of her books and one of her helpers.
The time may soon come when you might want to reconsider that.LOL.
Right now I am 99.99% on going into tomato throwing mode on leftist targets.
