The Lohans are back in the headlines, and this time, it’s Lindsay Lohan’s father, Michael Lohan, who’s stirring up trouble. The 63-year-old is currently wanted by Florida authorities after allegedly violating his probation—adding yet another chapter to his long history of legal woes.

What Did Michael Lohan Do This Time?
According to court documents, an arrest warrant was issued for Michael last week in Palm Beach County, Florida. The warrant stems from a 2022 probation agreement tied to his guilty plea for referring patients to a rehab center in exchange for kickbacks—a scheme that landed him four years of probation.
But it seems Michael just can’t stay out of trouble. His latest arrest in Texas for allegedly assaulting his ex-wife, Kate Major, has reportedly violated the terms of his probation. Now, Florida police are on the hunt for him, and extradition could be on the table.

The Texas Drama: Assault Allegations and He Said, She Said
Last month, Michael was arrested in Texas after Kate Major accused him of pushing her off a chair during an altercation. According to the police report, Major showed officers bruises as evidence of the alleged assault. Michael was slapped with a $30,000 bond but, true to form, denied the accusations.
In his defense, Michael claimed Major has a history of alcohol-related issues and violent behavior, suggesting she was trying to frame him. “She’s just trying to ruin me,” he reportedly told authorities.

A History of Legal Troubles
This isn’t Michael’s first rodeo with the law. His rap sheet dates back to the 1990s and includes everything from domestic disputes to financial scandals. In 2020, he made headlines for crashing a wedding in the Hamptons and allegedly harassing the bride and groom. And let’s not forget his 2013 arrest for violating a restraining order filed by his then-girlfriend.
Michael’s legal troubles have often overshadowed his daughter Lindsay’s career, which has seen a resurgence in recent years with her Netflix rom-com Falling for Christmas and upcoming projects.

As of now, Michael’s whereabouts are unknown, and it’s unclear if he’ll be extradited to Florida to face the music. One thing’s for sure: this latest scandal is just another twist in the never-ending Lohan family saga.
While Lindsay has managed to carve out a successful comeback, her father’s antics continue to keep the Lohan name in the tabloids. Here’s hoping this chapter ends with less drama—but let’s be real, it’s the Lohans we’re talking about.
