LOS ANGELES � Democratic donor Ed Buck has been charged with
operating a drug house after a 37-year-old man suffered a
nonfatal overdose at his apartment last week. Two other men have
died of overdoses at Buck�s house.
Buck is accused of injecting the man with methamphetamine at his
West Hollywood apartment on September 11, according to the Los
Angeles County District Attorney�s Office. The man overdosed but
survived.
Buck was charged with three felony counts on Tuesday, including
battery causing serious injury, administering methamphetamine
and maintaining a drug house.
He is scheduled to be arraigned Wednesday, and prosecutors are
recommending bail be set at $4 million, the DA�s office said.
CNN has reached out to Buck�s attorney, Seymour Amster.
Gemmel Moore
The latest victim isn�t the only person to have overdosed in
Buck�s home.
Two men have been found dead in Buck�s apartment � one in 2017
and the other in January. Both of their deaths were caused by
methamphetamine overdoses, the DA�s office says in court
documents.
Gemmel Moore, 26, was found dead at Buck�s home on July 27,
2017. Moore�s death was ruled an accidental methamphetamine
overdose, the Department of Medical Examiner- Coroner�s website
says.
The admissible evidence was insufficient to prove beyond a
reasonable doubt that Buck was responsible for Moore�s death,
according to a charge evaluation worksheet from the LA County
District Attorney in July 2018.
Moore�s mother filed a wrongful death lawsuit against Buck, 65,
in February alleging that he injected her son with a lethal dose
of crystal methamphetamine.
The complaint describes Buck as a wealthy white man who �had a
predatory and injurious system of soliciting Black men and
watching them cling to life.� Both Moore and another man found
dead at Buck�s house, Timothy Dean, were black.
The lawsuit accuses him of wrongful death, sexual battery and
assault and says he was not prosecuted �because he is white, and
because Mr. Moore was Black.�
After the lawsuit was filed, Amster responded on Buck�s behalf.
�We categorically deny all allegations of wrongdoing and look
forward to litigating this matter in a court of law,� Amster
told NBC News in February.
Timothy Dean
Separately, deputies were called to Buck�s home on January 7 to
respond to a person not breathing. When they arrived, they
pronounced 55-year-old Timothy Dean dead. Dean�s death was ruled
accidental, the Los Angeles County Sheriff�s Department said in
March.
Amster told CNN in January that Dean and Buck had been friends
for more than 25 years. Buck has not been charged in Dean�s
death.
�Yes, Ed does have individuals he associates with who have
problems with drugs. He tries to talk them out of it. Sometimes
they bring their problems into his apartment, and that�s where
the problem is,� Amster said at the time.
Buck has donated to a number of Democratic candidates and PACs
in recent years, according to information from OpenSecrets, a
nonpartisan group that tracks money in US politics. Recipients
rushed to return the money after Dean�s death.
