BRISTOL PALIN and her fiancé have more in common than just political views – both Bristol and Marine Corps vet Dakota Meyer seem to have a penchant for getting into drunken brawls!
While Bristol, 24, reportedly punched a man after she was asked to leave a party, Medal of Honor winner Dakota, 26, allegedly walloped a girl!
The National ENQUIRER has obtained photos of the aftermath of a Dec. 2012 melee that left Dakota with a gash to the head, and another male, Kanissa’a Thompson, arrested for assault.
But Kanissa’a said Dakota isn’t telling the whole truth!
According to a Kentucky State Police report, Dakota – who admitted he was boozed up – said he was leaving a party when a female friend was “getting assaulted” by another woman.
He claimed he intervened, and was “knocked to the ground and kicked in the head.”
Witnesses painted a different picture.
One witness told cops another female punched Dakota, and then Kanissa’ai kicked the ex-Marine.
According to Kanissa’a, Dakota was the aggressor, and he hit Kanissa’a’s sister, who was tussling with the girlfriend of Dakota’s brother!
Kanissa’a also said he saw Dakota “punch” his sister.
In an exclusive interview he told The ENQUIRER: “This girl got into a fight with one of our friends, and Dakota was trying to break it up. He was drunk, and he punched her.
“Dakota turned around and punched [my sister]. She knocked him out.
“I grabbed my sister and pulled her away.”
Kanissa’a, now 21, pleaded guilty to fourth degree assault, and was sentenced to two years probation.
As for Dakota, Kanissa’a added: “Before this incident, I would have called him a friend. I feel like what he did was wrong. I think he’s a punk and a liar because if he was any kind of a man, he’d own up to it and take his fault.”
