Lindsie Chrisley, known for her previous role on the reality television series Chrisley Knows Best, is facing legal repercussions following an arrest in Georgia on suspicion of driving under the influence. The incident took place in the early hours of Sunday, May 24, 2026, after a traffic stop conducted by the Cherokee County Sheriff’s Office.
Details of the Arrest and Charges
According to law enforcement records, the 36-year-old was taken into custody around 2 a.m. and subsequently booked into the county jail. Chrisley faces a comprehensive list of charges, including driving under the influence, attempting to elude, reckless driving, improper lane change, and speeding. She was released shortly thereafter upon posting a bail of approximately $6,000.
Chrisley has since addressed the allegations, maintaining that her actions were a necessary response to an immediate road hazard. She informed media outlets that the speeding occurred while she was attempting to bypass a vehicle that had nearly struck an animal on a two-lane road. “I was trying to miss hitting them and whatever the animal was,” Chrisley stated, indicating her intention to vigorously contest the charges in court.
A Tumultuous Period for the Reality Star
This arrest marks another difficult chapter in a challenging period for Chrisley. Only last month, her former boyfriend, David Landsman, was arrested in Georgia on charges involving felony aggravated assault and misdemeanor battery. The situation led to both parties seeking temporary restraining orders, which eventually culminated in a mutual no-contact agreement requiring a 500-yard distance between them.
Family Dynamics and Personal History
Chrisley’s history with her family remains complex and largely estranged. The daughter of Todd Chrisley and Teresa Terry, she officially exited Chrisley Knows Best in 2017. By 2021, she publicly confirmed that she had no intention of reconciling with her father or Julie Chrisley, following years of highly publicized internal friction and legal disputes involving the family.
Currently, Chrisley focuses on her role as a mother to her son, Jackson, whom she shares with her former husband, Will Campbell. The pair were married from 2012 until their separation and subsequent divorce in 2021.
