Friday the 13th; Anna Nicole's boyfriend and Doctor charged

By -

LOS ANGELES, California (CNN) -- Anna Nicole Smith's longtime partner and attorney, Howard K. Stern, and a doctor were jailed Thursday on charges of conspiring to furnish drugs to Smith before her death in 2007, authorities said.

Anna Nicole Smith's boyfriend Howard K. Stern was among those charged Thursday.

Anna Nicole Smith's boyfriend Howard K. Stern was among those charged Thursday.

Stern and Dr. Sandeep Kapoor were arrested and later released from a Los Angeles County jail Thursday night after each posted a $20,000 bond, a police spokesman said.

Dr. Khristine Eroshevich also faces charges and is expected to turn herself in Monday, authorities said.

The doctors and Stern devised a plan to use a fake name so that Smith could be prescribed "thousands of pills," California Attorney General Jerry Brown said.

"She was obviously addicted," Brown said. "These doctors had a medical obligation to prescribe medicine in a professional way. Evidence will show this did not happen."

Smith, 39, was pronounced dead February 8 after being found unconscious in her hotel room at the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino near Hollywood, Florida.

The former Playboy playmate and reality TV star died from an accidental overdose of prescription drugs. At the time of her death, several prescription medications -- both in Smith's and Stern's names -- were found in the room.

Officials said prescription and over-the-counter drugs were found in Smith's system, including three antidepressants or anti-anxiety drugs. Also found in toxicology testing was human growth hormone and chloral hydrate, a sleep medication, officials said.

Don't Miss

Stern, 40, Kapoor, 40, and Eroshevich, 61, were each charged with eight felonies, including conspiring to furnish controlled substances, unlawfully prescribing a controlled substance and obtaining fraudulent prescriptions from June 2004 to January 2007 -- only weeks before the playmate's death.

Kapoor and Eroshevich were each also charged with obtaining a prescription for opiates by "fraud, deceit or misrepresentation." Each was also charged with one count of obtaining a prescription for opiates by giving a false name or address, according to the Los Angeles District Attorney's Office.

Smith was buried in the Bahamas on March 2 next to the grave of her son, Daniel, who died in September, days after the birth of her daughter, Dannielynn.

"Among the drugs that they are accused of prescribing or obtaining for Smith are Ambien, hyrdromorphone (trade name: Dilaudid), methadone, Xanax, clonazepam, the muscle relaxant carisoprodol, and the sedative chloral hydrate".

It is certainly suspicious that they dig up this case now, and the news comes out on Friday the 13th. I smell a continuation of the ritual.

You may have heard of Hasna Ait Boulahcen, the woman who died in a  raid carried about by French police  in the days after the attacks in Paris. Or you might have seen her on the website of the Daily Mail, which said it  obtained exclusive photos of her , or the  New York Post , which dubbed her the  “skanky suicide bomber”  in a front-page story  That was the characterization those tabloids ran with: that Boulahcen was, as the Daily Mail wrote,  “a party animal with a string of boyfriends who had shown no interest in religion.”  Here is what was said to be a photo of Boulahcen lounging in a bathtub blown up onto the front page of the Nov. 20 edition of the  Post: The problem is that the woman that the  Post  confidently declared to be the “Paris suicide bomber” doesn’t appear to be her at all. That woman, pictured above, came forward today to say she is not Hasna Ait Boulahcen and has no connection to the group o...
