)With more and more Americans unable to pay for their necessary prescription drugs, turns out that the longtime boyfriend and lawyer of Anna Nicole Smith, Howard K. Stern, along with her doctor Sandeep Kapoor had no problem paying for theirs. They were arrested Thursday for allegedly conspiring to repeatedly and excessively furnish prescription drugs to Anna Nicole before her death in 2007. Doctor Khristine Eroshevich has also been charged and is expected to turn herself in next week.
"These individuals repeatedly and excessively furnished thousands of prescription pills to Anna Nicole Smith, often for no legitimate medical purpose," California Attorney General Edmund Brown said in a statement. "There is ample evidence that Doctor Eroshevich and Doctor Kapoor violated their ethical obligations as physicians, while Mr. Stern funneled highly addictive drugs" to Anna Nicole.
The Attorney General says that over a period of three years, Eroshevich, Kapoor and Howard K. Stern furnished thousands of prescription pills to Anna Nicole Smith, including opiates, benzodiazapines, and other controlled and non-controlled substances.
Dr. Eroshevich and Dr. Kapoor falsified prescriptions and prescribed unwarranted amounts and combinations of highly addictive medications. Howard K. Stern, as Anna Nicole's attorney and boyfriend, served as a vital link in obtaining, delivering, and administering these prescription drugs to Anna Nicole Smith.
In an Associated Press report, when she died, investigators found 11 prescription medications in Anna Nicole's hotel room, most prescribed in Howard K. Stern's name.
