The woman who allegedly attacked Fleetwood Mac's Lindsey Buckingham has been arrested and charged with battery, assault and stalking.

Michelle Dick is charged with stalking Buckingham and another alleged victim, two felony counts of threatening to commit a crime with intent to terrorize, one felony count of assault with a deadly weapon that is not a firearm, one felony count of vandalism and one misdemeanor count of battery, according to Los Angeles County court records viewed by USA TODAY.

All the charges are in connection with alleged offenses ranging from October 2021 through March 2026.

The arrest comes after Buckingham, 76, was allegedly attacked by the woman when he appeared for an appointment on March 25 in the Southern California Beach town, police confirmed to KTLA, and several law enforcement sources confirmed to NBC4.

The woman allegedly approached Buckingham as he entered the building and doused the Grammy-winning rocker with an unknown substance before fleeing, the outlets report. The guitarist was not injured.

According to a late 2024 temporary restraining order petition and civil lawsuit against Dick on behalf of his family, Buckingham has alleged that Dick "harbors delusions," including accusing Dick of believing she is Buckingham's daughter and that the musician hurt her as a child, which the family denies.

Dick had also allegedly sent numerous messages, called "dozens of times a day" and left voicemails with death threats against the family, according to the petition. Buckingham also accused her of showing up at the family's homes, taping picture collages of herself and the Fleetwood Mac rocker to the family's mailboxes, and appearing at one of Buckingham's concerts, making threats.

In November 2024, she allegedly swatted the family, calling 911 to falsely report gunshots had been fired at Buckingham's home and that his son William was suicidal, which he called "the straw that broke the camel's back," according to the petition. Nearly a dozen officers showed up at his home, he said in the documents, handcuffing him and forcing him to wait outside in the cold while they searched his house.

Lindsey Buckingham said he feared harm to his family

In his petition for a restraining order, Buckingham said he was afraid Dick's conduct might "escalate into something physically dangerous" to him and his family, according to Rolling Stone.

Court records state Dick allegedly called 911 on Nov. 3, 2024, to falsely report that she heard gunshots inside Buckingham's home and that the musician's son was "suicidal," Rolling Stone reported. Buckingham said in a written statement filed with the court that nearly a dozen officers arrived at his house that night.

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

Buckingham also accused Dick of making dozens of phone calls with "long drawn-out messages that included the claim she was my child and threats to kill me and my family," and that she blamed him for "facial deformities she suffered as a child and demanded money," according to Rolling Stone.

He also alleged Dick made threats to a San Francisco venue where he performed and left a photo collage from images on her Instagram page at his home address on Sept. 18, 2024, Rolling Stone reported. The next day, she allegedly parked her car outside one of the homes Buckingham shares with his wife, and Dick was questioned by police a short time later, he said.

"She began rambling about me being her father and suffocating her as a child," Buckingham wrote, per Rolling Stone. "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."
