Ed Buck’s attorneys Tuesday attacked a Los Angeles County
Sheriff’s Department deputy’s declaration that she saw a
substance appearing to be methamphetamine along with drug
paraphernalia in plain view at the California political donor’s
apartment when she was called to the scene of a man’s overdose
death.

Buck, 66, is accused of giving drugs to the man who died at his
West Hollywood apartment after allegedly being lured across
state lines for prostitution. He faces nine felony counts in Los
Angeles federal court, plus state charges of running a drug den.
The federal case will proceed first, on April 20.

During a Zoom hearing Tuesday, U.S. District Judge Christina
Snyder heard from the defendant, attorneys and sheriff’s deputy
Grehtel Barraza, who said she responded to a call for service at
Buck’s apartment on July 27, 2017, and saw drug evidence in
plain view in open drawers of a rolling tool cabinet.

The deputy told the judge that she noticed several “used
syringes,” a “bulbous glass pipe” and a clear plastic bag
containing a “crystal-like substance” she took to be
methamphetamine in open drawers of the red tool chest. Sex toys
were also exposed in another open drawer, Barraza said.

Attempting to have the judge throw out the deputy’s sworn
declaration, defense attorney Ludlow Creary II questioned
whether Barraza could have seen anything in a tool chest which,
as Buck alleged, had no open drawers when the deputy was in the
room.

Buck, appearing via Zoom from the Metropolitan Detention Center
in downtown Los Angeles, testified that he called 911 that day
for help with his friend, Gemmel Moore, who was unresponsive.

The defendant said he remembers the drawers of the tool cabinet
were shut, and, in fact, were always kept shut because otherwise
the chest could tip over.

Snyder took the matter under submission.

Buck was arrested in September 2019 after being charged in
federal court with providing methamphetamine to a man who died
after receiving the drug intravenously. He now faces additional
charges, including a count alleging that he enticed 26-year-old
Moore to travel to the Los Angeles area to engage in
prostitution. Buck allegedly provided meth to Moore, who
overdosed on the drug and died on July 27, 2017.

Buck is charged with a second count of enticing a man to travel
with the intent of engaging in prostitution. He is also accused
of knowingly and intentionally distributing meth, and using his
apartment for the purpose of distributing narcotics such as
meth, and the sedatives gamma hydroxybutyric acid (GHB) and
clonazepam.
