Lindsay Lohan's dad appears in Fla. court
The estranged father of actress Lindsay Lohan made his first appearance in court on domestic violence charges.
Wednesday morning, Judge Walter Heinrich set bail at $5,000 for Michael Lohan.
Police accused the 51-year-old Lohan of battering his girlfriend at her Tampa condo. During Wednesday's court hearing, Heinrich told Lohan to stay away from 28-year-old Kate Major.
Authorities say Lohan went to Major's condo Sunday and that she decided to let him stay even though she had a temporary domestic violence injunction against him in Sarasota County.
A call to Lohan's lawyer, Michael Perry, was not immediately returned.
