The final straw, he said, was when she placed a false emergency call against Buckingham, claiming that she\u2019d heard gunshots inside his home. Police arrived and handcuffed him while they cleared his home. <\/p>\n<p>After this weekend\u2019s arrest, Dick was taken to the Allen County Jail in Fort Wayne and was awaiting extradition to California.<\/p>\n<p>Times staff writers Richard Winton and Emily St. Martin contributed to this report. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A 55-year-old woman wanted in California on charges of stalking and assaulting Rock &amp; Roll Hall of Famer&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":264315,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[110479,7,9,8,1431,110480,40854,115866,1073,110481,110483,2663,236,27644,8267,1791,1557],"class_list":{"0":"post-264314","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-california","8":"tag-buckingham","9":"tag-california","10":"tag-california-headlines","11":"tag-california-news","12":"tag-family","13":"tag-fleetwood-mac","14":"tag-fort-wayne","15":"tag-goshen-road","16":"tag-home","17":"tag-lindsey-buckingham","18":"tag-michelle-dick","19":"tag-mile","20":"tag-police","21":"tag-roll-hall","22":"tag-santa-monica","23":"tag-times","24":"tag-woman"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/264314","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=264314"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/264314\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/264315"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=264314"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=264314"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=264314"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
