Ed Buck, a prominent Democratic donor and political activist,
was arrested Tuesday and charged with operating a drug house and
providing methamphetamine to a 37-year-old man who suffered an
overdose at Buck's West Hollywood apartment last week, the Los
Angeles County District Attorney's Office said.

Buck is charged with three counts of battery causing serious
injury, administering methamphetamine and maintaining a drug
house, officials said in a news release.

Prosecutors said Buck injected the victim with methamphetamine
at his apartment in the 1200 block of Laurel Avenue in West
Hollywood on Sept. 11. The victim suffered an overdose, but
survived.

Buck is known as an animal-rights and LGBTQ activist who has
donated to Democratic politicians and once ran for West
Hollywood City Council. But past incidents strikingly similar to
Wednesday's overdose have put Buck at the center of
investigations.

This most recent incident marks the third known time a man
suffered a methamphetamine overdose at Buck's West Hollywood
apartment. The previous two victims did not survive.

The first man, 26-year-old Gemmel Moore, died on July 27, 2017.
Prosecutors cited insufficient evidence in declining to press
charges against Buck in connection with Moore's death, which was
ruled an accidental methamphetamine overdose.

A second man, 55-year-old Timothy Dean, died of methamphetamine
and alcohol toxicity on Jan. 7. Dean's autopsy report said he
died at least 15 minutes before anyone called 911. That death
was also ruled accidental.

Court documents filed on Tuesday portray Buck as a "violent,
dangerous sexual predator," who uses the bait of drugs, money,
and shelter to lure men struggling with addiction and
homelessness into his home, where he "manipulates them into
participating in his sexual fetishes."

The documents say Buck brought the latest victim to his home
around Sept. 4 and injected the man with a dangerously large
dose of methamphetamine. The victim left the apartment to get
medical help, concerned he was having an overdose.

The victim returned to Buck's apartment on Sept. 11. Buck again
personally injected the man with two large doses of
methamphetamine, causing the man to suffer an overdose, court
documents say.

Prosecutors say Buck refused to help the victim, and thwarted
the man's attempts to get help, until the man fled the apartment
and called 911 from a nearby gas station. He was taken to a
hospital for treatment.

A Los Angeles County District Attorney's Office news release
called Buck's apartment a "drug den."

A Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department's investigation
uncovered hundreds of photographs taken in Buck's apartment of
men in compromising positions, court records say.

“The full scope of his consistent malicious behavior is
unknown,” prosecutors said in a bail motion. “It is only a
matter of time before another one of these vulnerable young men
dies of an overdose.”

Prosecutors are recommending Buck's bail be set at $4 million.
He is due in court Wednesday.

If convicted, Buck faces a possible maximum sentence of five
years and eight months in state prison.
