Warrants Served in Anna Nicole's Death

TMZ has learned that the California Department of Justice began serving search warrants Friday in connection with the death of Anna Nicole Smith. One was served this morning at the home of Anna's psychiatrist, Dr. Khristine Eroshevich, and we're told Howard K. Stern was actually there at the time!

We're told that eight warrants were served altogether by armed officers, and these may be connected to the Department's investigation of Dr. Eroshevich. KABC cameras caught Dr. Eroshevich outside her home today. Sources say the warrants were served at several businesses connected to Anna's doctors and at a storage facility. Ellyn Garafalo, a lawyer for Dr. Sandeep Kapoor, who prescribed methadone to Smith shortly before she died, confirmed to the AP the doctor's home and offices were among those raided.

As TMZ first reported, the Medical Board of California is investigating Eroshevich, who ordered a virtual pharmacy of drugs for Anna, five days after her son Daniel died.


UPDATES: We're told the DOJ will hold a press conference at 11:00 AM. Stay tuned!

85. We are here! Always have been "by things that make you go humm"! They are search warrants silly! AND...just because I believe HKS, does not mean that I agree that the meds given to ANNA by her doctors was appropriate! That's what the investigation is for...for the professionals to determine! Oh that's right....no matter what they find, if it is not R.C. and gangs truth, it's all a lie!

88. CNN just confirmed that BOTH DOCTORS WERE SERVED with search warrants for their own businesses AND their own STORAGE FACILITY. 11 AM press conference by Jerry Brown.

O>K. Lin Wood has confirmed Stern was there when Dr. E. was served.

11 AM CA time--2 PM EST.

There you have it. The storage facility belonged to ONE of the two doctors--CNN didn't say which one.

WAS HOWARD SERVED????? NO NO NO. Was it his storage facility Publix from the Studio City home?? NO NO NO. Was Howard present at Dr. E's??? YES YES YES.

CNN rattled something off about pharmacies which makes sense being investigated.

NO ARRESTS EXPECTED (per CNN)

Has to do with CA DOJ and Medical Board investigation of both doctors.

There ya go--now go chew on that for the next 10 years.

FROM THE MOUTH OF LARRY HIMSELF;

Birkhead: Stern Taunted Me, Gave Drugs to Sick Anna

Posted Feb 21st 2007 5:17PM by TMZ Staff

Filed under: Celebrity Justice, Anna Nicole Smith

Larry Birkhead alleged on the witness stand that during a hospital stay in April 2006, when Anna Nicole Smith was ill and several months' pregnant, that Howard K. Stern and Anna Nicole had "a duffel bag" full of drugs with which they would supplement the hospital's dosages.

Birkhead added that Anna Nicole made "a baby book" while in the hospital, in which she identified Birkhead as the dad, and Howard K. Stern as "Uncle Howard." Nearing tears, Birkhead described his efforts to help Anna get past her drug problems at her Studio City home in May 2006.

He also suggested that Stern was "romantically interested" in Anna Nicole but that the love was unrequited. Birkhead said that Stern challenged Birkhead's paternity, and taunted him with the possibility that South Carolina businessman Ben Thompson might be the actual father.
