“An Alaska drug investigator and the union representing Alaska State Troopers are alleging political meddling in the Sherry Johnston drug case, including a delay in serving the search warrant until after the November election. Johnston is the mother of Levi Johnston, who became known in September when Gov. Sarah Palin and her husband, Todd, announced their teenage daughter Bristol was pregnant and Levi Johnston was the father. Palin was running for vice president while Sherry Johnston was under investigation. … Sherry Johnston was arrested Dec. 18 on charges of selling the prescription painkiller OxyContin.” (01/04/08)
