She has since 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. A warrant has been issued for Dick’s arrest, and a judge has set bail at $300,000, but she has yet to be detained.
According to court records, Dick was reportedly spotted outside Buckingham’s Brentwood residence multiple times over the years and allegedly harassed his family. Dick allegedly targeted the guitarist’s wife, Kristen Messner, with phone calls that included threats to her life, while his children were also targeted via phone and social media.
Buckingham said the alleged harassment started with phone calls and “long drawn-out messages that included the claim she was my child and threats to kill me and my family.”
Dick also accused him of the “facial deformities she suffered as a child and demanded money.”

Dick also toldKTLA reporter Sandra Mitchell that the reported sightings at Buckingham’s residence were, “One time – that was last year. But I didn’t know I had a restraining order on me. He wasn’t a father to me, but he’s my birth father.”
Dick also told KTLA that she is currently living in her car. The LAPD is currently the lead agency in the investigation, as Dick is linked to other incidents in Los Angeles.
