California Democratic megadonor Ed Buck faces charges including
maintaining a drug house after a third man overdosed in his West
Hollywood home last week, the Los Angeles Times reports.
The big picture: In January, police found a man dead inside his
apartment for the second time in 2 years, per the New York
Times. On Tuesday, prosecutors filed criminal charges against
Buck after a 37-year-old man overdosed in his apartment on Sept.
11, Los Angeles District Attorney's Office said in a statement.
The man survived.
Buck is accused of injecting the man with methamphetamine at his
home, the LA District Attorney's Office said. He was also
charged with battery causing serious injury and administering
methamphetamine.
The deaths of 2 African American men at Buck's apartment were
ruled accidental, the LA Times reported.
50 civil rights organizations and the Los Angeles LGBT Center
urged police in January to investigate reports that Buck had a
history of bringing African American men to his apartment to
allegedly inject them with crystal methamphetamine for sexual
gratification, per the LA Times.
Buck is facing a lawsuit from the mother of Gemmel Moore, 26,
who died inside Buck’s apartment on July 27, 2017, The Daily
Beast reports.
Background: Buck, a one-time candidate for West Hollywood City
Council, is a prominent LGBTQ activist who's donated thousands
of dollars to local Democrats, former President Obama, 2016
presidential candidate Hillary Clinton and animal rights causes,
BuzzFeed reports.
What they're saying: Seymour Amster, Buck’s attorney, told Fox
News that he would not comment on the arrest, but the news
outlet notes that he has in the past said that his client did
nothing wrong.
What's next: Buck is scheduled to be arraigned on Wednesday.
Prosecutors are recommending bail be set at $4 million, the LA
District Attorney's Office said.
