Palin stalker nabbed by FBI story is FALSE

[RamboLiberal]

Politico's Ben Smith reports that an original Daily Mirror report cited by Fox News (and cited in this blog post) that reported Shawn Christy had been arrested was wrong.

According to Politico's Smith, the Mirror report appeared to be an exaggeration of a statement Palin's father Chuck Heath made during an interview with the BBC :

Smith goes on to write that Eric Gonzalez, a spokesman for the FBI's Anchorage field office said the stories were false, and that an Alaska state police spokeswoman and a spokeswoman for the Anchorage Police Department had no record of any contact with Christy.

7. Palin's dad (Chuck's story) - From OP Link

CH: A good example is one guy from Pennsylvania. He sent us and other people copies of a gun he'd bought, copies of a receipt for a gun he bought, copies of a one-way ticket to Anchorage. We kind of laugh it off, we got a restraining order on him, and lo and behold last week he showed up in Anchorage, from Pennsylvania, and fortunately the FBI was on top of it and sent him home.

Mat Su Valley Frontiersman story from 1st half Feb

ANCHORAGE — A Pennsylvania man accused of stalking Wasilla residents Sarah Palin and Kristan Cole made an uneventful trip to Anchorage Friday and Saturday.

Shawn Christy, 19, of McAdoo, Penn., made his first trip to Anchorage — and first trip on a jet plane — on an Alaska Airlines jet that landed early Friday morning. He stayed in a Spenard hotel, had lunch at the Fancy Moose in the Millennium Hotel that afternoon and flew home to Pennsylvania Saturday morning.

He said he paid $350 each way for tickets to fly to Alaska for 30 hours or so. He did not have a rental car, he said, and did not leave Anchorage — except by plane to fly home.

Palin and Cole filed, and were granted, 20-day protective orders against Christy in September 2010 after they told the court that they had received receipts from him for the purchase of a gun, a one-way plane ticket and a call from him on a phone with a 907 area code.
