Howard K. Stern faces charges for supplying Anna Nicole Smith with drugs

Tags:

Authorities have formally filed criminal charges against Anna Nicole Smith’s former attorney and boyfriend, Howard K. Stern, 40, for conspiring to supply drugs to Smith prior to her death, prosecutors said Thursday.

According to records, police in Whittier, Calif., arrested and booked Stern, who was a confidante of Smith’s for years and claimed to be the father of her daughter Dannielynn. Bail is set at $20,000. Additionally, two doctors—Sandeep Kapoor, 40, and Khristine Eroshevich, 61—were also charged with felonies. The pair allegedly prescribed medication unlawfully to Smith, according to the L.A. County District Attorney’s Office. Kapoor was also arrested in Whittier; a warrant has been issued for Eroshevich’s arrest.

The charges allege the trio—Stern and the two doctors—conspired to provide drugs to Smith between June 2004 and January 2007. They also were charged with "prescribing, administering or dispensing a controlled substance to an addict," among other charges.

At the age of 39, Smith died from an accidental overdose of prescription drugs in February 2007. Her son, 20-year-old Daniel, died of a lethal combination of drugs just moths before.

    Stern killed Anna Nicole and her son. He is a murderer and should pay for that crime as well.

    Come On Blue Monolith, Really? What did he have to gain? And how much did he lose! He’s not the dad, Birkhead is… He lost his woman, his love… Being Prosecuted for supplying her druggie self with drugs (Something People in love do for their significant other if that’s how they are together…)
    Pull your head out of your rear, I’m a casual observer of all things and I can see he did not kill her… On purpose. He may have supplied drugs but he wasnt telling her to take more and more, her wacky self did that on her own.

  • Mooper

    I can’t believe Howard Stern could do this and STILL have a radio show. Look what George Bush has done to us!

  • anon

    Um Mooper. This is a different Howard Stern. Not the one in radio…

  • eddie

    Umm wrong howard stern. Howard Stern with the retarded radio show is a totally different person.
    Howard K Stern is not a murderer on purpose, he’s a scumbag lawyer who kept his client doped up so he could live off her income.. it’s not rocket science, terrible thing to do ethically? Of course.. but voluntary manslaughter at best..

  • Really??

    Mooper?? Really? You’re an idiot. Do you really think there is only one Howard Stern?

  • MadMat

    I think Moopar is right. Stern should resign from his radio show. George W. Bush and Rush Limbaugh should both be ashamed for their roles in this tragedy!

  • Kurt H.

    Howard Kevin Stern[1] is the former attorney and partner of Anna Nicole Smith. He is always referred to as “Howard K. Stern”, to avoid confusion with the popular radio personality with whom he coincidentally shares the same first and last names.

  • myra

    what a bunch of idiots you all are! You don’t know the difference between this Stern and the radio “shock Jock”
    I do agree however, that Howard Stern who is accused of keeping Anna in drugs should be punished.

  • Spelling Police

    Just moths? Come on you’re better than that.

  • rodger

    Yes A genius like mooper knows all about everything

  • zork

    Yep Howard Stern sat on top of Anna Nicole and shoved those drugs down her throat…..The only crime I see is the waste of public money to prosecute this case in the first place.

  • Dolmance

    Those drugs she had laying around killed her son.
