Lindsay Lohan's father, Michael, was arrested Friday in Florida and charged in a rehab kickback scheme.
Michael Lohan, 60, is accused of steering people to a rehab center in exchange for payments totaling $27,750, the South Florida Sun Sentinel reported.
Cops said the elder Lohan ran a recovery clinic in Palm Beach and told several visitors to get treatment a certain rehab facility, according to the Sun Sentinel. Police said that facility, Pride Recovery, paid Lohan in exchange.

Investigators said the owner of Pride Recovery admitted to the scheme.
The mother of one man who visited Pride Recovery told police her son "was not seen by the psychiatrist, threatened suicide and ran away from Pride Recovery due to the lack of treatment he was receiving," the Sun Sentinel reported. Another person said, "Lohan is a monster and will do anything for money."
Michael and Lindsay have both battled addiction themselves. Lindsay spent 14 days in jail in 2010 before returning to rehab.
Michael Lohan has also been charged with domestic violence several times in cases involving his ex-wife, Kate Major.
