Lindsay Lohan's Dad's Latest Arrest Sparks Another Run-In With The Law In Florida

Lindsay Lohan's dad, Michael Lohan's Texas arrest digs a deeper hole for him in his existing Florida case.

The actress's father was picked up by the cops for allegedly assaulting his estranged wife, Kate Major, thus boomeranging into a more complex case for him in Florida.

Lindsay Lohan's dad, Michael Lohan, was arrested last month on a felony assault charge called "continuous violence against the family." Officers say one of their deputies saw bruising on his ex-wife's body.

The star's father is facing a new warrant for his arrest in Florida, stemming from the incident in Texas where he attacked Kate. 

This warrant is linked to a previous case in Palm Beach, where he pled guilty to five counts of patient brokering in 2022, resulting in four years of probation. However, the arrest in Texas appears to have violated those probation terms.

Michael claims that Kate has been threatening to have him violated for a long time and asserts that the charges against him in Texas are fabricated and connected to their ongoing custody battle. He is determined to fight the allegations and clear his name.

On the other hand, a source close to Kate indicates that she is fearful for her safety and is taking measures to protect herself and the children. Per TMZ, Kate believes the truth will come out, and justice will ultimately be served.

Responding to Kate's allegations against Michael, The Blast shared that a judge issued a protective order to ensure the safety of his estranged wife.

This order prohibited Michael from assaulting or communicating with her in a threatening manner and mandated that he stay at least 200 feet away from her workplace.

Michael and his attorney, Andino Reynal, strongly contested the allegations, asserting that Kate had a history of alcoholism and a criminal record, which included multiple DUI arrests.

The attorney claimed that Michael had consistently attempted to help his former wife achieve sobriety for the benefit of their two young children, but despite his efforts, she struggled with her addiction.

Ultimately, Reynal explained that when it became evident that Kate would not stop drinking, Michael requested that she move out of the residence. Her numerous accusations against him soon followed Lindsay's dad's decision.

Michael's attorney has raised concerns about the timing of Major's allegations, describing it as "suspicious."

He expressed confidence that a grand jury would exonerate Michael by finding no probable cause for charges against him. Following his arrest for "continuous violence against the family," Michael also reiterated his innocence, sharing his attorney's point of view.

Michael, the TV personality, vehemently denied all allegations against him, asserting that he was the actual victim in the situation. He stated, "I've shut up long enough about Kate's physical, emotional, and verbal abuse," claiming that she had orchestrated a setup against him.

Initially, she accused him of stalking, which he found ludicrous, and when that claim fell flat, she alleged that he had pushed her over a chair, a point he firmly refuted as a total fabrication.

Michael mentioned that he possesses video evidence to support his narrative and the backing of his children. Despite his challenges, including a protective order and a $30,000 bond following his arrest, he remains resolute in his defense.

Kate contacted authorities after encountering her estranged husband, Michael, in a parking lot while she was at a mammogram appointment. 

During her conversation with law enforcement, she accused Michael of forcefully removing her from a chair at their home, which resulted in pain and discomfort.

A female deputy who responded to the scene reportedly noted visible bruising on Kate's body, leading to Michael's arrest on a felony assault charge. This incident is part of a troubling pattern in their relationship, which a history of physical violence and domestic disputes has marked.

Michael's estranged wife was previously arrested for violating a protection order following a public confrontation with him. Four years earlier, he faced arrest for allegedly choking and harassing her. Their tumultuous relationship has also attracted attention due to Kate's DUI incidents.

Shortly before the claims of the alleged assault dropped, Michael vocally defended his daughter against speculation surrounding her appearance. 

He firmly denied that she had undergone any cosmetic procedure, asserting that her transformation was purely natural. Michael described Lindsay's beauty as a point of pride and urged fans to dismiss the "false narratives" circulated in the media.

He described the rumors about the celebrity's cosmetic procedures as "disgusting" and praised Lindsay's looks. However, he admitted that she had some cosmetic treatments, including peels, fillers, and Botox, but nothing like surgical procedures in her beauty regimen.

Michael's claim was backed by Dr. Ari Hoschander of KH Plastic Surgery in New York City, who confirmed that Lindsay had not undergone a facelift and suggested her changes resulted from weight loss.

Will Michael Lohan receive any punishment for defaulting his probationary terms?
