Boyfriend of Lindsie Chrisley Arrested on Strangulation Charges in Georgia
David Landsman, the romantic partner of television personality Lindsie Chrisley, has been taken into custody by authorities in Cherokee County, Georgia. Landsman faces serious criminal charges including aggravated assault-strangulation and battery following an alleged domestic altercation.
Details of the Arrest and Alleged Incident
According to official jail records from Cherokee County, Landsman was arrested on Friday evening. The charges stem from an incident where he is accused of physically assaulting Chrisley, with specific allegations of strangulation. Sources close to the situation revealed to TMZ that the confrontation began when Chrisley confronted Landsman about a falsehood she had discovered.
The argument reportedly escalated dramatically, with Landsman allegedly "going berzerk" according to TMZ's informants. When Chrisley attempted to leave the situation, the physical altercation occurred. Law enforcement officers responding to the scene observed visible injuries on Chrisley, though the exact nature and severity of these injuries have not been publicly detailed.
Police Response and Legal Proceedings
Interestingly, it was Landsman himself who contacted authorities following the dispute. As of Friday evening, his bond had not yet been established according to online court records. The Daily Mail has reached out to representatives for both Chrisley and Landsman seeking comment on the situation, but has not received responses at this time.
Background of the Relationship
Landsman and Chrisley have been romantically linked since last year, though their relationship has been marked by public attention and controversy. Several weeks prior to the arrest, Landsman utilized his Instagram account to post a photograph showing him holding Chrisley's hand while what appeared to be an engagement ring adorned her finger.
In a provocative caption directed at Chrisley's estranged father, convicted reality star Todd Chrisley, Landsman wrote: '@toddchrisley may I have your daughter's hand in marriage?' However, TMZ subsequently reported that the couple was not actually engaged, despite the suggestive social media post.
Chrisley Family Dynamics and Legal History
Lindsie Chrisley has maintained a strained relationship with her father Todd and stepmother Julie for several years. This family tension has played out publicly, particularly following Todd and Julie Chrisley's legal troubles. In June 2022, the couple was found guilty of committing substantial tax evasion and bank fraud totaling approximately $30 million.
Todd Chrisley originally received a 12-year prison sentence while Julie was sentenced to seven years, though both were later released in May 2025 following a full presidential pardon from Donald Trump. During their incarceration, Lindsie provided updates on her podcast, Southern Tea, revealing in March 2025 that she had not visited her father in over a year and had never visited her stepmother during her imprisonment.
"I have not seen my dad in quite some time and I have had no contact. And that's all I'm going to say for that," Lindsie stated candidly during the podcast episode. She and her brother Kyle, both children from Todd's first marriage to Teresa Terry, were notably featured during the early seasons of the family's reality television program Chrisley Knows Best before relationships became strained.
The arrest of David Landsman adds another layer of complexity to the already tumultuous public narrative surrounding the Chrisley family, combining elements of domestic violence allegations with ongoing family estrangement and previous high-profile legal battles.
