\n\tA woman with an alleged history of stalking Lindsey Buckingham<\/a> has been charged with seven criminal counts in Los Angeles County after allegedly hurling an unidentified substance<\/a> at the former Fleetwood Mac<\/a> guitarist in Santa Monica on March 25 while he had a restraining order barring her from making contact.<\/p>\n

\n\tMichelle Dick was charged in a felony complaint dated Friday and made public on Monday, according to court documents obtained by Rolling Stone<\/em>. Prosecutors allege that Dick stalked Lindsey Buckingham between late 2021 and March 25, 2026. The complaint includes one felony count of making criminal threats, a felony count of assault with a deadly weapon involving a motor vehicle on March 19, and a felony count of vandalizing Buckingham\u2019s Mercedes-Benz S450 the same day.<\/p>\n

\n\tDick faces a separate felony count of making a criminal threat against Buckingham on March 25, and a misdemeanor battery charge for allegedly using force during that incident. Prosecutors charged Dick with stalking both Buckingham and a second alleged victim, identified as Stephanie N., placing them in reasonable fear for their safety.<\/p>\n

\n\tA judge issued an arrest warrant for Dick, finding probable cause, and set bail at $300,000, the documents revealed.<\/p>\n

\n\tReports emerged last week that Lindsey Buckingham was attacked on March 25 by an alleged stalker who tracked him to a location in Santa Monica. When the 76-year-old musician arrived, the woman allegedly threw a substance at him and fled, a law enforcement source told Rolling Stone<\/em>, saying it wasn\u2019t immediately clear if the substance was \u201ccaustic.\u201d Buckingham was not injured. Attempts to reach his representatives were unsuccessful.<\/p>\n

\n\tBuckingham sought a restraining order against Dick in November 2024, alleging she had stalked him for years and was behind a frightening swatting incident that month that ended with Buckingham briefly detained while Los Angeles police searched his Brentwood home. According to court filings obtained by Rolling Stone<\/em>, Dick allegedly used her cell phone to call 9-1-1 on Nov. 3, 2024, and falsely report that Buckingham\u2019s son was \u201csuicidal\u201d inside the home and that she had heard gunshots. In a written statement filed with the court, Buckingham said nearly a dozen officers descended on his house that night.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cWhen I answered the door, I was handcuffed and asked to step outside,\u201d he wrote. \u201cAfter twenty minutes of the police searching my house and me outside in the cold, handcuffed, I was let back into my house, shaken and fearful.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tAn LAPD detective assigned to the case told the judge in a separate written statement that she later contacted Dick on the same number used to make the bogus 9-1-1 call. \u201cDuring my brief conversation with her, she admitted to calling 9-1-1 on Nov. 3, 2024. I advised her that her behavior needed to stop,\u201d Det. Marisol Landeros wrote.<\/p>\n

\n\tIn his petition for the restraining order, which was granted, Buckingham claimed that Dick started harassing him in 2021, and that he was \u201cafraid her conduct may escalate into something physically dangerous to me and my family.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tHe said the alleged harassment started with dozens of phone calls, with Dick leaving \u201clong drawn-out messages that included the claim she was my child and threats to kill me and my family.\u201d He said Dick also blamed him for \u201cfacial deformities she suffered as a child and demanded money.\u201d He accused Dick of making threats to a venue in San Franciso where he performed and of leaving a photo collage with pictures from her Instagram at his home address on Sept. 18, 2024. He said the next day, Dick allegedly parked her car outside one of the homes he shares with his wife. Police allegedly stopped her car a short time later and questioned her.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cShe began rambling about me being her father and suffocating her as a child,\u201d Buckingham wrote. He said subsequent threats on Instagram were directed at his wife. \u201cThis incident terrified my wife as she feared for her safety. Given that Ms. Dick also knows my home address, I am terrified as well,\u201d he wrote. <\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cI do not know Ms. Dick, and I am not her father,\u201d Buckingham said in his statement.<\/p>\n

\n\tDet. Landeros urged the court to grant the stayaway order in 2024. \u201cI believe Ms. Dick to be mentally unstable and dangerous,\u201d she wrote in her statement. \u201cThe Buckinghams should be granted the civil harassment restraining orders they seek against Ms. Dick for their protection.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tLos Angeles County Superior Court Judge Elizabeth Scully granted the petition on Dec. 20, 2024, ordering Dick stay at least 100 yards away from Buckingham, his wife, his son, their homes, and their vehicles for five years. Dick was barred from harassing or contacting the three members of the Buckingham family in any way.<\/p>\n

\n\tBuckingham joined Fleetwood Mac in 1974 along with Stevie Nicks, his partner in the American folk rock duo Buckingham Nicks. He wrote and sang many of their most memorable songs, including \u201cGo Your Own Way,\u201d \u201cTusk\u201d and \u201cSecond Hand News.\u201d Buckingham had an acrimonious split from the band<\/a> in 2018 amid an alleged disagreement over the timing of a world tour.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cWe arrived at the impasse of hitting a brick wall,\u201d\u00a0Mick Fleetwood told\u00a0Rolling Stone.<\/em><\/a>\u00a0\u201cThis was not a happy situation for us in terms of the logistics of a functioning band. To that purpose, we made a decision that we could not go on with him. Majority rules in term of what we need to do as a band and go forward.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tBuckingham sued the group in October 2018 for allegedly giving up on \u201c43 years of camaraderie and friendship,\u201d and cutting him out<\/a> of the band\u2019s lucrative 2018-2019 world tour. In the lawsuit, obtained by Rolling Ston<\/em>e, he accused his bandmates of freezing him out and refusing \u201cto provide him with an explanation for his purported expulsion from Fleetwood Ma\u0441.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tTwo months later, Buckingham dismissed the lawsuit after reaching a private settlement<\/a>. In 2019, he suffered a heart attack and underwent surgery<\/a>. <\/p>\n

\n\tLast week, Buckingham gave a sneak peek at his plans for 2026<\/a> via a post on Instagram. \u201cI am still very, very grounded in my creative life,\u201d he said. \u201cI\u2019ve been working on a new solo album for the last couple of years, which is one song away from being finished.\u201d He also said the upcoming\u00a0Fleetwood Mac documentary\u00a0<\/a>may arrive this year and appeared to hint at some type of reunion with\u00a0Stevie Nicks<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\n\tNotably, Buckingham acknowledged\u00a0his complicated relationship\u00a0<\/a>with Nicks. He suggested the decision to reissue their 1973 debut album\u00a0Buckingham Nicks<\/em><\/a>\u00a0for the\u00a0first time in decades<\/a> last year had formed the basis for a reconciliation.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cI think on a more general level, just the energy in terms of what\u00a0Buckingham Nicks<\/em>\u00a0did to sort of create a resurgence of connection between Stevie and myself, I think on a larger scale, that seems to be something that\u2019s in the air,\u201d he said. \u201cAnd what that translates to specifically, I wouldn\u2019t want to speculate yet. But I believe with all my heart, it will translate to something good, and something wonderful, and something needed and something extremely appropriate.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
