Woman arrested after Lindsey Buckingham attack
The 76-year-old Fleetwood Mac icon was attacked with an “unknown substance” outside a building on April 1, and now Michelle Dick, 54, has been charged with multiple felonies over the incident.
As reported by Rolling Stone magazine, legal documents show Dick has been accused of throwing an unidentified substance on the musician.
She is facing seven charges, including making criminal threats, felony vandalism, and assault with a deadly weapon involving a motor vehicle.
Dick has also been charged with stalking both Buckingham, and a person referred to as Stephanie N.
Just over a year ago, Buckingham was granted a permanent restraining order against Dick, who is said to have harassed the guitarist since 2021.
Following the latest incident, a warrant was issued for her arrest with bail set at $300,000.
Five years ago, Buckingham accused Dick of harassing his wife Kristen with phone calls claiming to be his biological daughter.
He alleged that she made death threats against him and his family, turning up at their home, and making a fake 911 call which led to police arriving at his property as he slept and handcuffing him.
He told the court his stalker had left “long drawn-out messages” that included the claim “that she was my child and threats to kill me and my family”.
He added: “I now know that the 911 call was traced to (Michelle’s) phone and was the latest in an unabated pattern of harassment and threatening acts against my family and me.”
According to previous documents, Buckingham alleged the woman had contacted his wife after obtaining her business phone number.
He told the court he had no personal connection to her.
Buckingham said the woman had previously been warned by police to cease contact in 2022 but returned in 2024, allegedly leaving materials outside his home.
The court granted a five-year restraining order requiring her to remain 100 yards away from Lindsey, Kristen and his son William, and prohibiting any contact.
Last week, Dick told KTLA5 that she was at Buckingham’s house “last year” and confronted him last month, but wasn’t arrested at the time.
Lindsey joined Fleetwood Mac in 1975 alongside Stevie Nicks, with whom he had a personal and professional relationship during the band’s most successful period, including the release of Rumours.
