In a statement to media, Lindsie Chrisley said she passed a vehicle on a two-lane road to avoid hitting an animal. She described the maneuver as an effort to avoid a collision with an unknown creature and the car she was passing. She also said she intends to challenge the DUI allegation in court.
Recent domestic incident and protective order details
The arrest follows a protective order Lindsie filed roughly a month earlier. The order involved her boyfriend, David Landsman, and accusations that led to his April arrest.
- Landsman was arrested on charges that included aggravated assault, strangulation and battery.
- Court documents say the incident began after an argument over an image found on a phone.
- The filings allege repeated strangulation and that Lindsie sustained head and neck injuries after being forced outside the residence.
What police and medical observations reportedly showed
Authorities who met with Chrisley observed injuries consistent with a physical altercation. Records noted lacerations on her scalp and marks on her neck. A 911 call and subsequent reports are part of the public record.
Family legal background and recent pardon news
The Chrisley family has seen high-profile legal disputes in recent years. Todd Chrisley and his wife, Julie Chrisley, were convicted in 2022 on several fraud charges. They were later pardoned in May 2025 by President Donald Trump, a development that received wide media coverage.
Next steps in the legal process
Chrisley’s case will move through the Cherokee County system. She is expected to appear for arraignment and pretrial hearings. Her attorney has indicated a desire to fight the DUI charge.
