Lindsie Chrisley Arrested on DUI Suspicion After Tumultuous Breakup

When it rains, it pours—and for Lindsie Chrisley, the downpour just got heavier. The Chrisley Knows Best alum found herself in handcuffs over the weekend on suspicion of DUI, marking the latest chapter in what’s been an increasingly messy spiral following her split from ex-boyfriend David Landsman.

According to jail records obtained by TMZ, Chrisley was arrested Saturday night in Georgia and booked before posting bail early Sunday morning. Her version of events paints a different picture: she claims she was speeding to avoid hitting an animal on a two-lane road after another vehicle nearly struck it. The specifics of what officers observed during the traffic stop—and what led them to suspect impairment—remain unclear from the available details, but Chrisley has already signaled she intends to fight the charge.

The timing is particularly telling. Just weeks earlier, Chrisley and Landsman reached a mutual no contact order requiring both to maintain a 500-yard distance from each other, their homes, and their workplaces through May 2027. That agreement settled a custody battle over their Dachshund, Oliver, which ultimately went back to Chrisley—but not before both sides traded serious allegations. Landsman claimed Chrisley punched him during an April altercation; Chrisley countered that he attacked her and attempted to strangle her. Landsman was subsequently arrested on an aggravated assault-strangulation charge.

For someone who built a public profile as part of a reality television family, Chrisley’s personal life has become tabloid fodder marked by legal entanglements and dramatic accusations. Whether this DUI arrest represents a genuine lapse in judgment or a misunderstanding born from an attempt to avoid a roadside accident, it’s another unwelcome headline at a moment when she likely hoped to move forward quietly. The coming weeks will show whether her promise to fight the charge gains traction—and whether this latest incident marks a turning point or simply another pit stop in an ongoing crisis.
