Lindsie Chrisley, one of reality star Todd Chrisley\u2019s two children with his first wife, was arrested Saturday night on suspicion of driving under the influence in Concord, Ga. <\/p>\n
The podcaster was booked on charges including DUI less safe \u2014 a DUI charge for those whose blood alcohol is less than 0.08% \u2014 attempting to elude police, improper passing, reckless driving and speeding, according to a police report obtained by The Times. Her bail on the five counts totaled $5,961, according to the Cherokee County Sheriff\u2019s Office.<\/p>\n
\u201cI got pulled over speeding past a car on a two-lane road because they almost hit an animal,\u201d Chrisley told TMZ<\/a>, which first reported the arrest. She said she was trying to miss that car and \u201cwhatever the animal was.\u201d She said she planned to fight the charges. <\/p>\n Law enforcement had a different story to tell in its report, alleging that she was pulled over for traveling 86 mph on a surface street. After the deputy activated the lights on his car and initiated the traffic stop, Chrisley allegedly passed \u201cmultiple suitable stopping locations\u201d before finally pulling over at a Chevron station, the report said. <\/p>\n The sheriff\u2019s deputy who spoke with Chrisley said in his report that her stories weren\u2019t making sense, her speech was slurred and her breath smelled of alcohol. After she was asked to step out of the Ford Bronco, she told the officer she didn\u2019t know why she had been pulled over, then said it was because she had swerved around another vehicle that had \u201calmost hit a deer,\u201d the report said. The officer asked her if that was why she was speeding and she said \u201cthat is exactly why,\u201d according to the report, then talked about the car in front of her brake-checking her as she drove home and said she hadn\u2019t been traveling at nearly 90 mph.<\/p>\n The report said she refused to participate in field sobriety tests when the deputy asked her to and she also declined a blood test. No contraband was found in the car, according to the report. <\/p>\n Chrisley, 36, was released from custody around 4:15 a.m. Sunday morning.<\/p>\n Her encounter with law enforcement comes after her then-boyfriend, David Landsman, was arrested in Cherokee County in mid-April on a felony charge of aggravated assault\/strangulation and a misdemeanor charge of battery after he allegedly placed his hand around a person\u2019s neck and told them they were \u201cnot going anywhere,\u201d People<\/a> reported. <\/p>\n Lindsie Chrisley, the host of \u201cThe Southern Tea\u201d podcast, appeared in 20 episodes of \u201cChrisley Knows Best\u201d from 2014 into 2017. She and brother Kyle Chrisley are the children of Teresa Terry, Todd Chrisley\u2019s first wife. <\/p>\n Todd and second wife Julie Chrisley were convicted of bank fraud and tax evasion<\/a> in 2022 and imprisoned at separate facilities. Todd was serving a 12-year sentence in Florida and Julie was serving seven years at a facility in Kentucky when President Trump pardoned them in 2025, clearing the convictions from their records and ending their sentences. <\/p>\n Lindsie was estranged from her family for years over their suspicion that she had squealed to state and federal officials. Todd and Julie sued the state of Georgia in 2019, alleging that a tax official had targeted the couple\u2019s estranged daughter and improperly shared confidential tax information to try to elicit compromising information on the family. As a result of the official\u2019s efforts, the Chrisleys were forced to \u201cincur substantial personal and financial hardship,\u201d the suit said.<\/p>\n Sources who said they were close to Lindsie told TMZ<\/a> in October 2019 that she spoke with the state official only to get updates about when her father might be arrested, so that she could shield her young son from any drama. In 2022, she said on her podcast that she and her father got back in touch after her second filing to divorce husband Will Campbell went public in summer 2021. The family members did crossover appearances on their various podcasts. <\/p>\n However, the reconciliation appeared to be short-lived, with Lindsie saying<\/a> on her podcast in March 2025 that she hadn\u2019t had any contact with her dad in a year. <\/p>\n
