Democratic donor Ed Buck arrested, charged with operating West Hollywood drug house

Prominent Democratic donor Ed Buck has been charged with operating a drug house and providing meth to a 37-year-old man who nearly died from an overdose last week.

Activists have been calling for Buck's arrest as he is believed to be responsible for the deaths of two other black gay men. One from 2017 and one from earlier this year.

Both men were found in Buck's West Hollywood's apartment and a coroner ruled both deaths were caused by methamphetamine overdoses.

Buck remains in custody as of this morning and prosecutors argued he should be held on $4 million bail.

The videos were included in declassified military footage released in 2017 and 2018 to the Stars Academy of Arts and Sciences, a group founded by musician Tom DeLonge of Blink-182.
