EVIL INCARNATE –

July 23, 2021 – “Every time he stuck that needle into someone else’s arm, he was playing God,” she said. In closing arguments, prosecutors told jurors the evidence against Buck was overwhelming: graphic videos he took of naked men smoking and shooting up meth and of him touching their genitals while they were asleep or unconscious; Buck’s text messages inviting men to use drugs; 911 calls he placed when Gemmel Moore and Timothy Dean died in his apartment; testimony that he injected meth into the arms of men who were passed out. 

Buck “used these human beings as his own sex toys, playing Russian roulette with their lives because it was the only thing that could get him off,” Assistant U.S. Atty. Lindsay M. Bailey said. Buck, who is white, paid most of the men a few hundred dollars each time they came to his Laurel Avenue apartment to use meth and indulge his fetish for underwear and Black men.
