After the encounter, Ms. Dick had fled California and traveled about 2,000 miles to Fort Wayne, the police said. It was not clear where Ms. Dick lives, as officers who went to an address associated with her in San Leandro, Calif., were told by another resident that she had left in November 2025.
A lawyer for her was not yet listed, and she has requested a public defender. Ms. Dick will face stalking charges in Los Angeles.
Sgt. Jonathan Cutler of the Fort Wayne Police Department said another law enforcement agency contacted local officers with information about Ms. Dick’s possible whereabouts in a hotel on the city’s northwest side, where she was arrested on Saturday.
On Monday, she made an initial appearance in Allen County Superior Court. She will be in custody as part of hearings for her pending extradition to California.
Mr. Buckingham, 76, who lives in Los Angeles, was not injured in the encounter. He obtained a restraining order against Ms. Dick in 2024, accusing her of stalking him and his family since at least 2021, according to documents contained in the order. She is barred from being closer than 100 yards to Mr. Buckingham. His representative did not respond to a request for comment.
In his restraining order application to a judge, Mr. Buckingham accused Ms. Dick of trying to trespass at venues where he was set to perform, leaving threatening voice mail messages to himself and family members, claiming to be his daughter and demanding money from him.
Ms. Dick also called the police to Mr. Buckingham’s home in November 2025, reporting that she had heard gunshots. The call was false, according to evidence provided by an officer in the application, but nonetheless resulted in Mr. Buckingham being handcuffed while police searched his home.
Mr. Buckingham is best known as a prolific songwriter and guitarist for the British American rock band Fleetwood Mac, whose relationship with his bandmate Stevie Nicks is said to have inspired a number of the group’s hits, including “Go Your Own Way.”
