MIAMI — Michael Lohan spent his 65th birthday behind bars on Friday.

Lindsay Lohan’s father was sentenced to nine months in county jail for violating his probation terms, according to Palm Beach County court records.

As per the documents, judge Sarah Willis ruled on the plea bargain deal Wednesday.

Last month, cops issued a warrant for Lohan’s arrest in Florida. The legal issues stemmed from a February incident in Spring, Texas — outside Houston, where he now lives — following an altercation with his ex, Kate Major.

The 42-year-old mother of Lohan’s two youngest sons claimed he threw her off a chair, causing her “pain and discomfort,” as per a Harris County Sheriff’s Office complaint. Officers discovered bruises consistent with her account and charged him with felony assault.

That latter arrest violated the terms of Lohan’s 2022 probation, after he was convicted on five counts of patient brokering in West Palm Beach, which is how he ended up in this current predicament.

 

Lohan’s rep Mike Quinn shared a statement with Fox News Digital at the time regarding their relationship after his last arrest.

“His dedication to his younger boys and his unwavering support for his wife reflect his deep love and commitment to his family,” Quinn told the outlet. “Michael has consistently stood by Kate’s side, offering his support through her own journey toward sobriety — a challenge they’ve faced together with courage and compassion.”

Major, a former gossip reporter, filed for divorce Sept 5, 2018, in Palm Beach County, but it was never finalized.

Meanwhile, Lindsay Lohan is living her best life in Dubai with her husband Bader Shammas (a University of South Florida and University of Tampa alum) and their toddler daughter named Luai. The 38-year-old actress’ latest movie “Freakier Friday” — a sequel to the beloved mom-daughter identity switching classic with Jamie Lee Curtis — hits theaters Aug. 8.
