McCain adviser Steve Schmidt told reporters in gathering in St. Paul before the Republican National Convention that Todd Palin was arrested for driving while intoxicated in Alaska in 1986. Palin reportedly was driving a pick-up truck with friends in the town of Dillingham, Alaska when he was stopped.  Todd and Sarah were dating at the time.
