Landsmand was taken into custody at the Cherokee County jail in the Peach State in early April 2026, according to TMZ. The man was charged with one count of aggravated assault-strangulation.

Lindsie Chrisley’s Boyfriend Posted An Image Of An Engagement Ring Weeks Ago
Landsman’s alleged assault comes weeks after he garnered attention for posting Lindsie’s hand with an engagement ring on it to his Instagram Stories. Landsman even tagged Lindsie’s reality TV titan father, Todd, and asked for his permission to have his child’s “hand in marriage.”
According to The Blast, Lindsie has been at odds with her family for years, largely due to Todd and his wife Julie Chrisley’s legal troubles.
Most recently, Todd slammed Lindsie, alongside his son, Chase, and wife, on an episode of their “Chrisley Confessions” podcast.
“It’s unfortunate that we have to get up to this again, and we have to start addressing the same sht- that we’ve addressed for six years or longer,” he said.
Julie shared a similar statement, calling the drama “unfortunate” before saying she wasn’t a fan of the family drama. “I do not like for there to be tension in this family,” she added.
Lindsie Chrisley Feuded With Younger Sister Savannah After Family Drama
The family chaos reached a boiling point in 2025 when Lindsie’s younger sister, Savannah Chrisley, was seen screaming at the former during an episode of their show, “Back to Reality.”
Savannah got real about being betrayed by her family in the trailer before telling Lindsie, who hosts the “Southern Tea” podcast, to “lose our last name.”
“I mean, your blood will screw you over than a stranger definitely will,” Savannah and Lindise’s younger brother, Grayson, added.
Before that, Lindsie made waves when she revealed she’d considered dropping her last name due to the family’s ongoing controversy.
“For a long time, I very much battled with carrying my maiden last name, and with me carrying that last name came public association,” she said.
“And I do think it’s fair to say that contrary to what some people believe, the Chrisley last name, while it did start with [reality show] Chrisley Knows Best — and we all collectively were doing that project together — outside of that, that last name did not create income or opportunity for me,” she added.
Savannah Believed Her Brother, Chase, Would Die
The madness in the Chrisley family doesn’t just concern Lindsie. Chase feuded with Savannah on their reality series as well, according to The Blast.
In the superteaser, Savannah got emotional while opening up about her brother’s alleged drinking problem.
“Chase is not Chase. Like, it’s literally like a blank shell,” she revealed before saying he needed professional help.
Savannah explained that she was concerned her brother would die if he didn’t reign in his issues.
“There’s a part of me that is so afraid that he’s going to die,” she said, revealing she didn’t want to “have a relationship with him” because of the frightening reality.
Chase Was Arrested In January 2025
Savannah’s candid confession came months after Chase was arrested for allegedly slapping a bar owner in Atlanta.
The bar manager claimed the reality star displayed aggressive behavior in his establishment, prompting him to ask Chase to leave.
Chase was later arrested and charged with simple battery after reportedly hurling a chair, and he later posted $10,000 bond.
Chase denied the allegations and maintained his innocence in an interview after his arrest, adding, “I didn’t slap that dude in Atlanta.”
He added, “That didn’t happen. If I was [going to] put my hand on somebody, I would get my money’s worth. I wouldn’t just get a slap.”
