Last week Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin sought to clear the record regarding the educational status of 18-year-old Levi Johnston, her future son-in-law and the father of her new grandchild. She told The Associated Press that he is not a high school dropout; he's taking a correspondence course while working as an electrical apprentice up in the North Slope oil fields, where Johnston's father and Palin's husband work.
Sunday, a columnist for the Anchorage Daily News questioned how Levi could get an apprenticeship without a diploma, which the federal government requires.
Yesterday, Levi quit his job with ASRC Energy Services Inc., a major North Slope contractor, the Anchorage Daily News says.
Palin denied she had anything to do with his getting the position, as did his father, a construction engineer for ASRC.
"He felt it was the best thing to do to kind of calm the waters, so to speak," said Keith Johnston. He said his son flew home late last night.
Johnston has said he intends to marry Palin's daughter, Bristol, who gave birth Dec. 27 to a son named Tripp Easton Mitchell Johnston.
Meanwhile, Levi's mother and Keith's wife, Sherry Johnston, pleaded not guilty yesterday to six felony counts of possessing and selling the painkiller OxyContin. She was arrested Dec. 18.
She said in court she is in the middle of a divorce with Keith Johnston and is living on disability payments and child support, the Daily News reported. Trial is scheduled for March.
