Looks like she ran her car into his days before she threw the substance on his. His car looked damaged in the Daily Mail photos.




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

Michelle Dick was charged in a felony complaint dated Friday and made public on Monday, according to court documents obtained by Rolling Stone. 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's Mercedes-Benz S450 the same day.

Dick 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.

A judge issued an arrest warrant for Dick, finding probable cause, and set bail at $300,000, the documents revealed.

Reports 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, saying it wasn't immediately clear if the substance was "caustic." Buckingham was not injured. Attempts to reach his representatives were unsuccessful.
Buckingham 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 while Los Angeles police searched his Brentwood home.

According to court filings obtained by Rolling Stone, Dick allegedly used her cell phone to call 9-1-1 on Nov. 3, 2024, and falsely report that Buckingham's son was "suicidal" 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.

"When I answered the door, I was handcuffed and asked to step outside," he wrote. "After 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."

An 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. "During 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," Det. Marisol Landeros wrote.

In his petition for the restraining order, which was granted, Buckingham claimed that Dick started harassing him in 2021, and that he was "afraid her conduct may escalate into something physically dangerous to me and my family."

He said the alleged harassment started with dozens of phone calls, with Dick leaving "long drawn-out messages that included the claim she was my child and threats to kill me and my family."

He said Dick also blamed him for “facial deformities she suffered as a child and demanded money." He accused Dick of making threats to a venue in San Francisco 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.

"She began rambling about me being her father and suffocating her as a child," Buckingham wrote. He said subsequent threats on Instagram were directed at his wife. "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," he wrote.

"I do not know Ms. Dick, and I am not her father," Buckingham said in his statement.

(Attempts to reach Dick based on a phone number linked to an address listed in court records were not successful.)

Det. Landeros urged the court to grant the stayaway order in 2024.
“I believe Ms. Dick to be mentally unstable and dangerous”, she wrote in her statement. “The Buckinghams should be granted the restraining orders they seek against Ms. Dick for their protection.”

Los Angeles County Superior Court Judge Elizabeth Scully granted the petition on Dec 20, 2024, ordering Dick to stay at least 100 yards 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
