Lindsey's Dad Tossed From the Court Room

WEST PALM BEACH — The idea of a potential nine-month jail sentence for his girlfriend made Lindsay Lohan’s father so upset Thursday that deputies had to throw him out of a Palm Beach County courtroom.

Kathryn Major pleaded guilty Thursday to a probation violation sparked by a March incident where Michael Lohan, father of the movie actress, called 911 and said Major hit him and then backed her car into a tree outside their Boca Raton home while drunk. Major, with whom Lohan shares a son, was charged with DUI.

The arrest violated her probation from a 2012 case where she was sentenced to three years of supervision on battery, battery on a law-enforcement officer and resisting arrest charges connected to an altercation with a couple in a Boca Raton parking lot.

The new arrest nine months later shows Major is not a good candidate for probation, prosecutor Marci Rex told Circuit Judge Sandra McSorely during the brief hearing.

Major entered an open guilty plea to the violation, leaving it up to McSorely to decide her fate. Defense attorney Michelle Suskauer is hoping McSorely will reinstate Major’s probation, but Rex on Thursday asked the judge to send her to jail for nine months and end her probation unsuccessfully.

Angry at that idea, Lohan spoke up several times in court, and after McSorely commented on his behavior, deputies asked him to leave the courtroom.

“They’re gonna to send her to jail,” Lohan, 54, said to one of his companions on his way out of the courtroom.

Lohan, who declined to comment to a reporter, paced the hallway and spoke with friends about several local rehabilitation facilities to which he felt McSorely should send Major instead of sentencing her to jail.

Back in court, McSorely decided to put off imposing a sentence for Major until May 19. Major, who told McSorely she has been in and out of inpatient rehab facilities three times, nodded solemnly as McSorely warned her that any missteps will earn her a harsher sentence.

“What happens between now and then depends on you,” McSorely said.

Lohan most recently appeared with his actress daughter Lindsay on her reality show on Oprah Winfrey’s OWN network.

He was arrested in 2011 in Tampa after a fight with Major. Two days later, he contacted Major despite a court order to leave her alone, prompting police to seek him out at his hotel. When found, Lohan leaped from a third-story balcony in a failed escape attempt, injuring his leg.

On the night of Major’s arrest in March, police who pulled her over shortly after Lohan called 911 said she failed several field sobriety tests. A breath test places her blood alcohol level at .243, more than three times the level at which drivers are presumed impaired in Florida.
