A federal grand jury returned an indictment against Ed Buck this week, charging him with four additional felonies, including that he allegedly enticed victims to travel interstate to engage in prostitution.

Buck, 65, was arrested last year after a third man overdosed at his home in California. Prosecutors said Buck injected the man, Timothy Dean, with methamphetamine three weeks in a row before the fatal overdose.
