Michael Lohan receives 9-month jail sentence for probation violation.
Michael Lohan, father of actress Lindsay Lohan, has been sentenced to nine months in prison following a violation of probation associated with the alleged assault of his estranged wife, Kate Major. The sentencing occurred on a Wednesday in Florida, as reported by Media News Source. The 64-year-old Lohan will receive credit for 38 days already served.
The situation unfolded earlier this year when Lohan was arrested in Palm Beach County for breaching probation linked to a previous arrest in Texas. In February, he faced charges of Continuous Violence Against the Family for allegedly assaulting Major. Court documents indicate that Major claimed Lohan flipped her out of a chair during an altercation in her home and subsequently frightened her by following her to a medical appointment.
Insiders familiar with the legal proceedings informed Media News Source that Lohan entered a guilty plea regarding the probation violation. Major participated in the court hearing via Zoom, highlighting her presence and concern regarding the ongoing domestic disputes. The couple’s tumultuous history dates back to at least 2011, when Lohan was first arrested for domestic violence against Major, who was his fiancĂ©e at the time.
Lohan had previously been sentenced in 2022 to four years of probation after pleading guilty to five counts of patient brokering, a serious offense involving illegal kickbacks for referring patients to a rehabilitation facility. His legal troubles and domestic disputes have drawn significant media attention over the years, particularly considering his connection to Lindsay Lohan, a prominent figure in the entertainment industry.
The couple shares two young sons and was married in 2014, but their relationship has been troubled, with Major filing for divorce in 2018 and seeking sole custody of their children. As Lohan prepares to serve his time in prison, the implications of his legal issues and their impact on his family continue to be a focal point of public interest. It remains to be seen how this latest development will influence the lives of those involved moving forward.
