Lindsay Lohan's Dad Lands In Jail Again As The Wheel Of Justice Turns In Florida

Lindsay Lohan's dad cannot catch a break as his drama with his estranged wife sparks a probation violation.

Michael Lohan has recently made headlines over his differences with his estranged partner, Kate Major. His first arrest occurred in February for allegedly assaulting Major, a crime he has vehemently denied.

Now, Lindsay Lohan's dad is back behind bars in Florida for breaking the terms of his probation.

Michael's latest run-in with authorities occurred Sunday evening at the West Palm Beach. Cops took him in on an arrest warrant obtained by his probation officer following his alleged domestic violence incident in Harris County, Texas.

The media personality was arrested there in late February after he allegedly went to the home where Major lived with their sons and assaulted her. The event led to his booking on a Continuous Violence Against the Family charge, triggering his second arrest.

According to TMZ, Michael's probation officer caught wind of his Texas arrest and obtained an arrest warrant in Florida. Being on probation meant the "Freaky Friday" star's dad could not break any laws, but his domestic violence arrest was considered a probation violation.

Michael's attorney, Robert Gershman, boldly declared his client was innocent following his second arrest. "For sure, he did not violate probation. He has been obedient and responsible through his term of probation," the legal rep said.

"We hope her honor will release him quickly. We deny the allegations by Kate that he assaulted her," Gershman added. Weeks before his arrest, The Blast noted Michael's alleged assault had landed him in trouble in Florida over an existing case.

In 2022, Michael pled guilty to five counts of patient brokering, resulting in four years of probation. The drama that led to his probation violation stemmed from his estranged wife's assault claims and alleged fear for her safety and that of her children.

Following the alleged domestic violence incident, a judge issued a protective order to ensure Major's safety. The order stopped Michael from assaulting or communicating with her in a threatening manner.

It also mandated that he stay at least 200 feet away from her workplace. Michael's legal rep, Andino Reynal, slammed the restraining order, arguing that the allegations against his client were false.

Reynal stressed that Major had a history of alcoholism and a criminal record, which included multiple DUI arrests. He claimed Michael consistently attempted to help his estranged wife attain sobriety, but she could never overcome her addictions.

According to Michael's legal rep, his client moved to kick Major out of their home when it became evident that she wouldn't stop drinking. He allegedly tried to protect their two young children, but his estranged wife retaliated with domestic violence claims.

The attorney dubbed Major's allegations "suspicious," given the timing, and believed Michael's innocence would prevail in court. He noted a grand jury would exonerate his client by finding no probable cause for the charges against him.

Following his arrest for "continuous violence against the family," The Blast shared Michael's side of the story. The media personality alleged he was the real victim in the situation. He accused his estranged wife of years-long abuse and claimed he had evidence to support his narrative.

Michael dropped his allegations against Major in a heated statement, saying: "I've shut up long enough about Kate's physical, emotional and verbal abuse. She set me up. Originally, she said I was stalking her! Really? Lol."

"Then, when that didn't work, she said, I pushed her over a chair, which is a total lie," he said about the alleged domestic violence incident. In her conversation with authorities, Major claimed Michael forcibly removed her from a chair in their home.

The incident allegedly caused pain and discomfort, claims that seemed to match the bruising a female deputy reportedly observed on Major's body. The drama marked another evidence of the estranged couple's tumultuous history.

Major was arrested for violating a protection order in 2024 following a confrontation with her former beau. Michael faced a similar trip to jail in 2020 for allegedly choking and harassing his estranged wife.

Given the former couple's insistence on pointing fingers at each other, Lindsay Lohan's father is in for a bumpy legal ride.
