On March 25, Buckingham arrived at an appointment in Santa Monica. When he entered the building, a woman threw an unknown liquid at him and fled the scene.
Per Rolling Stone, police later arrested Michelle Dick and charged her with making criminal threats, assault with a deadly weapon involving a motor vehicle on March 19, and vandalizing Buckingham’s car. She also received another felony count for making a criminal threat against Buckingham on March 25 and a misdemeanor battery charge for using force. She also faces charges of stalking Buckingham and a woman identified as Stephanie N.
A judge set bail at $300,000.
Lindsey Buckingham said his alleged stalker has left him concerned about his safety
Buckingham obtained a restraining order against Dick in 2024. He alleged that she had been harassing him since 2021. This led him to “fear her conduct may escalate into something physically dangerous to me and my family.”
Buckingham alleged that Dick began leaving him “long, drawn-out messages that included the claim she was my child and threats to kill me and my family.” Dick blamed him for “facial deformities she suffered as a child and demanded money.” At one point, she made threats at a venue where he performed. He claimed that she also left a collage of photos outside his home in September 2024, and parked her car outside his property the next day.
“She began rambling about me being her father and suffocating her as a child,” Buckingham wrote. “This incident terrified my wife as she feared for her safety. Given that Ms. Dick also knows my home address, I am terrified as well.”
In November 2024, Dick allegedly called 911 to claim Buckingham’s son was suicidal, and that she’d heard gunshots coming from the home. Buckingham said multiple officers arrived at his home.
“When I answered the door, I was handcuffed and asked to step outside,” he wrote. “After 20 minutes of the police searching my house and me outside in the cold, handcuffed, I was let back into my house, shaken and fearful.”
A judge granted the petition and ordered Dick to stay 100 yards away from Buckingham, his wife, his son, his homes, and his vehicles for five years. She also cannot contact anyone in the family.
