ALLENTOWN, Pa. (AP) -- A Pennsylvania man and his son have been arrested on charges of harassing Sarah Palin's family and lawyers.

The FBI said that Craig Christy and his son Shawn Christy were placed under arrest at the FBI office in Allentown late Thursday morning.

The pair were indicted by a federal grand jury in Alaska on Wednesday. They are accused of harassing members of the former Alaska governor's family as well as her attorneys and employees of the law firm.

A magistrate in Alaska had previously issued restraining orders against Craig Christy and Shawn Christy.
