McAdoo pair detained for harassing Palin
The Scranton Times Tribune ^ | 8/19/2011 | wire and staff

Posted on 08/19/2011 3:22:40 PM PDT by NEPA

A McAdoo father and son will be detained until they can be sent to Alaska after the pair were arrested Thursday on charges of harassing former vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin's family and lawyers.

Craig Christy and his son, Shawn Christy, were placed under arrest at the FBI office in Allentown. U.S. Magistrate Judge Arnold Rapoport ruled Thursday that Craig Christy and his son, Shawn Christy, will be held and sent to the state where Mrs. Palin resides, a day after they were indicted by a federal grand jury in Alaska.

Assistant U.S. Attorney John Gallagher argued for their detention, saying, "There's a level of obsession here that elevates the conduct from merely creepy to truly threatening."

I vaguely remember this story of a teen obsessed with Palin. The kid seems nuts but his mother says blames the Palins and their lawyers. The mother says Sarah had a sexting relationship with the kid. Actually the whole family seem nuts to me.

They are Obama voters so that’s why they are whack jobs. Looks like the parents have their own mental issues. Wonder how much they gave the DNC in 2008. Yeah, like Sarah Palin has NOTHING else better to do then have a sexting relationship with some loser who looks like a turd

They not only harassed but the kid told Palin he was coming to Alaska then photographed the ticket and the receipt for the handgun he’d bought.Both father and son were served with protection order when they arrived in Alaska.The father then proceeded to phone the Palin’s attorney’s office threatening Palin’s life and that they both were going to rape her and her daughters.A very nutty crew he whole family is and if Mom believes what her son and husbands says she is in for a very rude awakening when this goes to trial.

The online comments almost blame Palin. She’s a meanie (my word, their sentiment) for going after these people. If she would just ignore them they would go away. I never thought the left could be more deranged about anyone like they were when it came to GWB but with Palin they really out do themselves.

I live in Rochester, but grew up in NYC. Back in the early 70s, we'd drive up from Roch to root for the Knicks (and Rangers) when they were in town.
Good times .... long gone.

Father or son [don’t remember which] wrote that if Sarah didn’t do something-or-other she would find Willow’s brains on the sidewalk. Read where they have had hundreds of threatening calls from this family.

Yes well they are just about to find out about all of the federal laws about stalking and threatening people are all about.Mom is not going to be happy when they both spend 10+ years in the federal pen.

Those fruitcakes and others like them should remember one thing.
The Palins know how to USE guns, they didn’t just go out and buy them for show.
I doubt any of them would just roll over and let some nut shoot them.
“The only reason the world is full of idiots is it is against the law to kill them.” An old joke, but it fits...

Is that what the sentence is? I’d thought that running afoul of a restraining order could garner 1 year in prison. I was told it would be a misdemeanor charge, but I suspect that at the federal level things are different. I’ve been watching this ignoramus on Facebook. Here are a couple of my favorites for your perusal.

Craig Christy
Sarah Palin,Shawn is not Curtis Menard Jr. and he never will be.If you weren`t whoring behind Todds back,Curtis Jr. might be alive TODAY!They tried to kill my wife Karen and myself in March 2009 because of your sexting affair with Shawn.A hitman named Thomas C. Bogash and his son Jonathan from Drums,PA.He did not expect for me to have a gun on that day when we were gathering wood.Sarah,your dangerous.

They've only been indicted, not sentenced. They have to go to Alaska for the trial. The 2 are seriously deranged and the mother must be just as nuts for trying to blame Sarah.

And thanks to those of you who made comments on the original article. The Scranton Times conveniently left out some sordid details which I had forgotten about.

The Times hates Palin, I'm almost surprised they ran the article.
