Lindsay Lohan’s stepmother Kate Major arrested for seventh time in five years for DUI on bus after attacking the driver and taking the wheel
Lindsay Lohan’s stepmother probably didn’t imagine her Christmas would be spent behind bars.
Yet that’s exactly where Kate Major Lohan ended up after she was booked on Tuesday for DUI and assault.
The 36-year-old wife of Michael Lohan, 58, allegedly assaulted a bus driver and then drunkenly commandeered the vehicle, according to The Blast.

Kate was a passenger on a Beiber Tourways bus driving through Allentown, Pennsylvania, when she accused the bus driver of missing her spot.
The former celebrity journalist was allegedly intoxicated at the time of the incident.
Kate had been traveling by bus for the holidays.
She told police that the bus driver had assaulted her after she got up to complain about the missed stop.

The bus driver’s account of the incident is starkly different. The driver claims that Kate ‘became verbally abusive’ after missing her stop and having to go on to the next town.
The bus driver says that Kate pulled at her coat until she managed to kick her off the bus, though the intoxicated woman made her way back on.
Kate then ‘got into the driver’s seat, and pushed various buttons, while appearing to want to move the bus,’ according to the police report. ‘There were several passengers on the bus at this time and the bus engine was running. One passenger physically removed Lohan from the driver’s seat at this time.’
The police charged Kate with public drunkenness, driving under the influence of alcohol or a controlled substance, disorderly conduct and harassment.

The troubled celebrity wife has been tailed by a string of arrests and domestic violence, with at least seven arrests in the last five years.
She was arrested earlier in 2018 for throwing a glass candle holder at her husband, Michael, who suffered a laceration to his arm.
In 2017, Kate went on a racist and homophobic tirade after being taken into custody for a mental health evaluation.
She was arrested in 2016 for battery against a law enforcement officer.
In 2015, Kate was arrested for scratching her husband Michael with her long acrylic nails.
She has already spent time in prison for a 2014 DUI arrest.
Michael filed for divorce from Kate in September of this year. The couple were engaged in 2010 and married in 2014.
Her step-daughter, Lindsay, has had her share of alcohol- and substance-related legal trouble.
