Overview
- Michelle Dick, 55, was arrested Saturday in Fort Wayne and is being held at the Allen County Jail pending extradition to California, police said.
- She faces six felony counts and one misdemeanor in Los Angeles County that include stalking, assault, battery, criminal threats, assault with a vehicle, and vandalism.
- Prosecutors say she threw an unknown substance on Buckingham in Santa Monica on March 25, and separate charging documents tie her to a March 19 vehicle attack and damage to his car.
- Buckingham secured a five-year restraining order in late 2024 after reporting loitering outside his homes, repeated calls, threatening voicemails, a photo collage on his mailbox, and a false 911 call that led police to handcuff him during a home check.
- Dick has claimed on TV that Buckingham is her “birth father,” which he denies, and authorities now plan to transfer her to Los Angeles for arraignment.
