As if I believed for one second that Michael Lohan was telling the truth.

Lindsay Lohan‘s father was arrested again this morning, after contacting Kate Major and attempting to escape by jumping off a 3rd-story balcony, plummeting 34 feet to the ground.

Lohan was just released last night … Idiot.

Somehow, TMZ was on the scene to catch the arrest on tape.

Tampa police responded to a call early this morning from Kate, who claimed Michael had been trying to contact her by phone and wouldn’t leave her alone. Officers interviewed Kate at her apartment after she made the call and while they were there, Michael allegedly called again.

Treating him as a threat, they went to his hotel to arrest him. However, once they arrived Michael tried to escape by jumping from his 3rd story balcony, then hiding in some trees. He’s going down now.

Kate released a statement to TMZ saying, “I am sick of being lied about by Michael Lohan Sr.’s false allegations about his continual physical and mental abuse toward me.”

“Obviously the judge was correct when questioning if he could ‘read.’”
