Lindsie Chrisley, former star of Chrisley Knows Best, was arrested in Georgia on Saturday, May 23, facing multiple charges including DUI less safe, attempting to elude police, improper passing, reckless driving, and speeding. The 36-year-old reality television personality was booked into Cherokee County Jail that evening and released after posting bond on Sunday, May 24.
Cherokee County Jail confirmed the arrest and detailed the bail amounts set for each charge. Chrisley's bail was set at $1,355 for the DUI less safe charge, $680 for improper passing, $565 for reckless driving, and $2,006 for speeding. Under Georgia law, DUI less safe allows prosecutors to charge a driver with driving under the influence even when their blood alcohol concentration registers below the standard 0.08 percent threshold.
Following her release, Chrisley issued a statement addressing the circumstances surrounding her arrest. She told TMZ, "I got pulled over speeding past a car on a two lane road because they almost hit an animal and I was trying to miss hitting them and whatever the animal was." Chrisley indicated that she planned to "fight the charge."
The arrest adds to a series of legal challenges facing the Chrisley family. Lindsie is the daughter of television personality Todd Chrisley and his ex-wife Teresa Terry. Her father Todd and his second wife, Julie Chrisley, were previously found guilty of conspiracy to commit bank fraud, conspiracy to defraud the United States, and tax fraud in 2022. The couple was released in May 2025 following a full pardon from President Donald Trump.
Lindsie's arrest occurred approximately one month after she filed a protective order against her boyfriend, David Landsman. Court documents obtained by Us Weekly revealed that the pair had been in a relationship for approximately two years until Landsman was arrested in April for aggravated assault, strangulation, and battery.
According to the protective order filing, the couple was allegedly involved in an altercation during which Landsman became "verbally aggressive" over a photograph he discovered on Lindsie's phone. The documents state that Landsman reportedly "apologized for his behavior" but subsequently "became agitated and aggravated" again. The filing alleges that Landsman "strangled" Lindsie "multiple times" during the incident.
Following the altercation, Landsman contacted authorities to make a report against Lindsie, according to 911 audio obtained by TMZ. Law enforcement later met with Lindsie at her residence and examined "injuries on her neck and her head." The protective order paperwork noted that "law enforcement noted that [Lindsie] had lacerations on her head from being thrown onto the ground and noted marks on [Lindsie]'s neck from being strangled."
The court documents also referenced a prior incident in which Landsman allegedly held Lindsie "down on the ground" before placing "his foot on her ankles to keep her from being able to leave." Lindsie claimed that Landsman had strangled her "multiple other times." Neither Landsman nor Lindsie have publicly addressed these allegations.
