Michael Lohan Arrested AGAIN

Michael Lohan was just arrested AGAIN in Florida after allegedly contacting his girl friend Kate Major -- and law enforcement said, he tried to escape by jumping a 3rd-story balcony.

According to law enforcement sources, Tampa police responded to a call early this morning from Kate, who claimed Michael had been trying to contact her by phone and wouldn't leave her alone.

We're told officers interviewed Kate at her apartment after she made the call -- the same apartment where Michael allegedly bruised her up earlier this week -- and while they were there, Michael allegedly called again.

According to law enforcement, officers believed Michael was a "threat" -- so they rolled up to his hotel to arrest him.

But here's the crazy part -- law enforcement said, Michael tried to escape by hopping his 3rd story balcony ... and he ended up falling into a tree.

After officers pulled him down, Michael was placed under arrest for violating a condition of his pretrial release (presumably for contacting Kate) ... and resisting arrest without violence.

Michael currently back in custody -- at the same jail he was released from less than twelve hours ago.
