Lindsie Chrisley isn't backing down after being arrested on suspicion of driving under the influence and attempting to elude police.
The former reality television star vowed to "fight the charges" made against her after being taken into police custody around 10:25 p.m. on Saturday, May 23, in Georgia.
In a mug shot released by the Cherokee County Sheriff's Office, Chrisley could be seen smiling while wearing her blonde hair down in what appeared to be an orange prison-provided shirt.
Linside Chrisley was arrested for DUI less safe, attempting to elude police, improper passing, reckless driving and speeding.
Court records show the 36-year-old was booked that evening, but released around 4:15 a.m. on Sunday, May 24, after posting bond.
Per Cherokee County Jail, Chrisley was specifically arrested for DUI less safe, attempting to elude police, improper passing, reckless driving and speeding. In Georgia, DUI less safe charges are used to clarify an individual can be charged with driving under the influence even if their blood alcohol concentration (BAC) is below 0.08 percent.
Chrisley's bail had been set at $1,355 for the DUI less safe, $680 for improper passing, $565 for reckless driving and $2,006 for speeding.

In a statement to TMZ after her release, the estranged daughter of Todd Chrisley and his ex-wife, Teresa Terry, challenged her charges, declaring, "I got pulled over speeding past a car on a two lane road because they almost hit an animal and I was trying to miss hitting them and whatever the animal was."
Lindsie's arrest is the latest legal issue to plague her family in recent years.

Todd and Julie Chrisley were released from prison on a Trump pardon in May 2025.
Her father and stepmom, Julie Chrisley, recently marked one year since being granted full pardons from President Donald Trump in May 2025 after being convicted in November 2022 of tax evasion and bank fraud. They were set to spend more than a decade behind bars before their release.
Lindsie's boyfriend, David Landsman, was also arrested just weeks prior to her DUI on charges of misdemeanor battery and felony aggravated assault/strangulation in Georgia.
Lindsie Chrisley's boyfriend, David Landsman, was arrested in April following an alleged domestic violence incident.
He too was booked into Cherokee County jail on April 10 after allegedly placing his hand around a victim's neck and informing them they were "not going anywhere." David was also accused of pushing the same person out of a Georgia home, hard enough for the individual to fall and hit their head on concrete.
At the time, Woodstock Police Department Captain Ron Sinfelt said in a statement to People, "When we have a case of that magnitude, our detectives conduct follow-ups and make sure the case is completely investigated."
