Lindsie Chrisley has broken her silence following her arrest on suspicion of driving under the influence in Georgia over the weekend. The 36-year-old former star of Chrisley Knows Best was taken into custody on Saturday evening in Cherokee County.
According to records viewed by People, Chrisley was charged with DUI less safe, attempting to elude police, improper passing, reckless driving and speeding. The charge of DUI less safe means an individual can be charged even if their blood alcohol content is below the legal limit of 0.08 percent.
Chrisley, the daughter of reality TV star Todd Chrisley and his first wife Teresa Terry, was booked into the Cherokee County Sheriff's Office and released early Sunday morning after posting bond set at $4,606. Speaking to TMZ on Monday, she said: “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.”
Her arrest comes a month after she filed a protective order against her ex-boyfriend, David Landsman, who was arrested for aggravated assault, strangulation and battery in April. According to court documents obtained by Us Weekly, Landsman allegedly strangled Chrisley multiple times during an altercation over a photo on her phone. A mutual no-contact order was later agreed, requiring both parties to stay 500 yards away from each other.
Chrisley has had a complicated relationship with her father for over a decade, confirming their estrangement in a November interview. Todd and Julie Chrisley were found guilty in 2022 of conspiring to defraud community banks of over $30 million in fraudulent loans, but were released in May 2025 after being pardoned by President Donald Trump.
