Authorities in Santa Monica say a woman has been charged following an alleged attack on musician Lindsey Buckingham earlier this year. Prosecutors confirmed the incident involved the suspect throwing an unknown substance at him in a public setting, leading to multiple criminal charges.
Officials stated the case is tied to a longer pattern of behavior. According to investigators, the woman had been the subject of prior complaints involving repeated contact, threats, and property damage. Court records show Buckingham previously secured a restraining order in 2024 after reporting ongoing harassment.
Prosecutors allege the situation escalated over time. In addition to the recent incident, the suspect is accused of making a false emergency call that sent police to Buckingham’s home, a tactic commonly referred to as swatting. Authorities say these actions contributed to the severity of the charges now filed.
The case is moving through the legal system, with both felony and misdemeanor counts under review. No additional details about court dates or potential outcomes have been confirmed.
