The Fort Wayne Police Department has arrested a woman, Michelle Dick, who allegedly stalked Fleetwood Mac guitarist Lindsey Buckingham in March when he showed up for an appointment in Santa Monica, California.
Dick, who authorities described as “a stalking suspect,” allegedly threw an unknown substance at Buckingham and immediately fled.
A Fort Wayne Police Department representative said Dick was taken into custody in Fort Wayne, Indiana on Saturday (April 11).
According to records obtained by Fox News Digital, the woman is being held without bond in the Allen County Jail, awaiting extradition to California.
According to court documents, Dick, who is known to have previously been accused of stalking Buckingham and his family, has been charged with two counts of stalking, two counts of threats to commit a crime with intent to terrorize, assault with a deadly weapon, vandalism and battery.
The offense dates range from October 2021 to as recently as last month.
Dick, who claims Buckingham is her biological father, told KTLA earlier this month that she had approached Buckingham in March and had previously gone to his Brentwood home.
“I am afraid her conduct may escalate into something physically dangerous to me and my family,” Buckingham wrote in a petition in 2024.
The harassment began in 2021, when Dick allegedly got “ahold of my wife Kristen’s business cell phone number and called the number dozens of times a day sometimes, leaving long drawn-out messages that included the claim that she was my child and threats to kill me and my family,” Buckingham stated in the petition.
“She also blamed me for facial deformities she apparently suffered as a child and demanded money. I do not know Ms. Dick, and I am not her father. She is clearly mentally unfit and harbors delusions which makes her scary to me and unpredictable,” Buckingham added.

Paul McCartney has returned to Billboard’s Adult Contemporary radio airplay chart as “Days We Left Behind” debuts at No. 22 on the list dated April 18.
The song previews the Beatles legend’s upcoming album, The Boys of Dungeon Lane, due May 29.
McCartney initially made the chart in the 1960s with The Beatles, who earned three top 10s in 1970-76, led by the No. 1 “Let It Be.” “Days We Left Behind” marks his highest debut on Adult Contemporary since 1978, when “With a Little Luck,” with Wings, entered at No. 21.
“This is very much a memory song for me,” McCartney shared in a statement announcing the new album. “The album title, The Boys of Dungeon Lane, comes from a lyric in this track. I was thinking just that, about the days I left behind, and I do often wonder if I’m just writing about the past, but then I think, ‘How can you write about anything else?'”
“It’s just a lot of memories of Liverpool,” he continued. “It involves a bit in the middle about John [Lennon] and Forthlin Road, which is the street I used to live in. Dungeon Lane is near there. I used to live in a place called Speke, which is quite working class. We didn’t have much at all, but it didn’t matter because all the people were great and you didn’t notice you didn’t have much.”
