Lohan, Li-Lo’s dad, has been arrested in New York on allegations he violated a protection order, the AP says.

Lindsay’s daddy apparently doesn’t understand do not call your ex-girlfriend means do not call your ex-girlfriend.

Lohan was arrested Monday on a misdemeanor charge of criminal contempt. Prosecutors say he called his girlfriend Sunday.

The 91-year-old is the founder of Oral Roberts Evangelistic Association and Oral Roberts University.

Roberts’ son, Richard, and daughter, Roberta, were at his side, according to a press release.

“Oral Roberts was the greatest man of God I’ve ever known,” Richard Roberts said. “A modern-day apostle of the healing ministry, an author, educator, evangelist, prophet, and innovator, he was the only man of his generation to build a worldwide ministry, an accredited university, and a medical school.”
