Arrested: Lindsay Lohan's father Michael is to be charged with domestic violence after an argument with his girlfriend allegedly turned physical last night


Lindsay Lohan's father Michael is to be charged with domestic violence after being arrested last night in Los Angeles after allegedly holding his girlfriend against her will and preventing her from calling the police.

The 50-year-old will face charges of false imprisonment, preventing the reporting of victimisation and inflicting corporal injury on a cohabitant.

Last night Lohan's girlfriend, whose name is not being released, filed a report at the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department after an argument between the couple turned physical.

The report was filed between 9.30 and 10 o'clock last night in West Hollywood, according to celebrity website TMZ.

It has also emerged that Michael Lohan was taken to Cedars-Sinai Medical Center after complaining of chest pains.

It is the second emergency dash for the businessman in as many months. In February he was admitted to Hoag Hospital in Newport Beach after suffering chest pains.

Lindsay, 24, has endured a turbulent relationship with her father and was estranged from him for several years.

But the pair have appeared closer in recent months and were spotted enjoying dinner together last month.

They first took tentative steps toward reconciliation during Lindsay's most recent stint in rehab late last year, when he visited her several times.

The actress is currently staying at her mother Dina's home in Long Island after a judge lifted the ban preventing her from leaving California under the terms of her probation.

Lindsay is dealing with her own legal woes as she decides whether to accept the plea deal option of three month jail sentence after an LA jewellery store reported that she had stolen a $2,500 necklace from them.

Her father's arrest comes as Michael is currently in Dr. Drew's Celebrity Rehab, seeking treatment for 'anger issues'.

He has a history of arrests in New York over allegations of harassment from ex-girlfriends.

Earlier this month his ex-girlfriend Kate Majors claimed he became physically violent toward her during filming of Celebrity Rehab when she visited the Pasadena Therapy Center to partake in a therapy session with Lohan.

She claims that despite being broken up, she participated because she felt it would be therapeutic.

Miss Majors alleges that when she pulled out of the session, Lohan chased her down and became violent.

She said at the time: 'I wish that he gets the help that he needs and I feel sorry that Dina was stuck with him for 18 years and my heart goes out to his children.
