Stern alleged to be Smith's "enabler"

California's attorney general Jerry Brown has reportedly alleged that Anna Nicole Smith's boyfriend and lawyer Howard K. Stern helped supply her with "dangerous prescription drugs".

Brown said that three people took part in the conspiracy to supply the medication that fed the star's addiction.

People reports that Brown singled out Stern as the "principal enabler" in felony charges filed againt the 40-year-old, and doctors Sandeep Kapoor, 40, and Khristine Eroshevich, 61.

"This was a conspiracy between three individuals," Brown alleged, adding that Stern was "the one that brought the drugs in many cases to Anna Nicole Smith."

The prosecutor alleged hundreds of dangerous drugs were prescribed under false names, leading to Smith's death in February 2007 at the age of 39.

According to the legal papers, the three provided Smith with "opiates, benzodiazepines, and other controlled and non-controlled substances". Stern and Kapoor have been booked and released, while Eroshevich is said to be planning to turn herself in on Monday. All three are due for arraignment on May 13.
