The woman charged with stalking and assaulting Fleetwood Mac's former guitarist Lindsey Buckingham has been arrested in Indiana.
Online jail records reported by Rolling Stone confirm Michelle Dick, who had previously been ordered to stay at least 100 yards away from the musician, was booked into custody in Allen County at the weekend and is awaiting extradition to Los Angeles County.
Los Angeles prosecutors have charged the 55-year-old with seven criminal counts after she allegedly hurled an unidentified substance at Buckingham in Santa Monica on 25 March.
The felony complaint, filed on 6 April, alleges Dick stalked Buckingham between 2021 and 25 March this year. The charges include making criminal threats, assault with a deadly weapon involving a motor vehicle, and vandalising Buckingham's car.
Prosecutors claim Dick also stalked a second victim, identified as Stephanie N., placing her in reasonable fear for her safety. Buckingham's former bandmate Stevie Nicks' full name is Stephanie Lynn Nicks, but it is not known if she is the second victim.
Buckingham sought a restraining order against Dick in November 2024, alleging years of harassment. A judge granted the restraining order in December 2024, requiring Dick to stay away from Buckingham, his wife, Kristen, and their son for five years. She was also ordered to keep her distance from their homes and vehicles.
Buckingham told the court that Dick allegedly parked her car outside one of the homes he shares with his wife in 2024.
"She began rambling about me being her father and suffocating her as a child," Buckingham wrote. He shared that 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.
