Lindsay Lohan’s father Michael released from jail EARLY after violating probation following alleged assault of ex Kate Major
Michael Lohan was released 24 days early, nearly six months after he landed behind bars for a parole violation.
The 65-year-old man was sentenced to nine months in prison after violating probation in the aggravated assault case in April. The star was placed on probation in February after he was arrested for allegedly lifting ex Kate Major from her chair.
But Michael was released at 1 a.m. last Sunday, almost a month early. A representative of the Palm Beach County Detention Center in Florida said: TMZ.
The representative said Michael was released early after ‘making time’ by working as a trustee prisoner while locked up.
In a statement regarding his release obtained by TMZ, Michael called his incarceration “wrong” and said he was grateful to be “reunited” with his sons.
“I am thankful for my early release and to be reunited with my children,” Lohan told the publication. ‘This should never have happened. It was wrong! As always, there is much more to the story than what is told. ‘I’m happy to be free and sorry for the negative press this has created in my family.’
Lindsay Lohan’s father said that he is looking forward to getting over this period and wants peace in the future for both himself and his family.
Michael Lohan has reportedly been released 24 days early after being sentenced to nine months in prison for violating his parole after being accused of assaulting ex Kate Major.
The Daily Mail contacted a representative for Michael and his daughter Lindsay for comment but did not immediately receive a response.
Michael had been placed on probation after being charged with a felony count of persistent violence against the family following his arrest for allegedly assaulting Kate.
According to TMZ, the case is pending.
Kate contacted authorities after spotting Michael in the parking lot of a medical building, a Harris County Sheriff’s Department spokesperson previously told the Daily Mail.
Kate called 911 and reported that she was ‘concerned that Michael was following her,’ prompting deputies to respond, authorities said.
Authorities said Kate told MPs that Michael had ‘thrown’ her out of a chair at their home a few days earlier.
Kate, who had a series of legal incidents with her estranged husband in the past, told the authorities that she “felt pain and discomfort” due to the attack on her.
Authorities said Kate, who is the mother of two young sons with Michael, showed a female deputy the ‘bruises’ on her body resulting from the attack.
Deputies later contacted Michael, who “was arrested without incident at his residence,” authorities said.
Michael was charged with domestic violence earlier this year after allegedly throwing Kate out of her chair.

The former couple split in September 2018 after Kate told a Florida court that the marital union was “irretrievably broken” and requested primary custody of their son in addition to alimony and alimony.
Michael has two sons, Landon (12) and Logan (10), with Major. Michael is also the father of four children with his ex-wife Dina Lohan (63): Lindsay (39), Michael Jr. (37), Aliana (31) and Dakota (29).
Michael and Major, a onetime entertainment journalist, were married in Hillsboro Beach, Florida, in October 2014, but Lindsay did not attend the nuptials.
They separated in September 2018, when Major sought primary custody of their son in addition to child support and alimony, saying in a Florida court filing that the marital union was “irretrievably broken.”
