Lindsay Lohan's dad arrested in Los Angeles

[March 22, 2011]  LOS ANGELES (AP) -- Authorities in Los Angeles say Lindsay Lohan's father has been arrested over allegations he held his girlfriend against her will and prevented her from calling 911.

City News Services reports that Michael Lohan was arrested Monday night in West Hollywood.

Los Angeles County Sheriff's Sgt. John Ratto says Lohan was booked on suspicion of preventing report of victimization, false imprisonment and inflicting corporal injury on a cohabitant.

Ratto says the girlfriend's name is being withheld.

Authorities say Lohan was taken to a hospital for a medical condition unrelated to the arrest. Bail has been set at $200,000.

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

The "Mean Girls" actress reportedly is estranged from her father.
