Sandeep Kapoor: Click to watchAccording to the L.A. County D.A., the conspiracy counts allege the three defendants conspired to furnish controlled substances to Smith between July, 2004 and January 2007.

Stern and Kapoor were charged with one count of unlawfully prescribing a controlled substance. Eroshevich and Stern were charged with unlawfully prescribing a controlled substance between June 2004 and January 2007.

Kapoor and Eroshevich were each charged with obtaining a prescription for opiates by "fraud, deceit or misrepresentation." They were both also charged with one count of obtaining a prescription for opiates by giving a false name or address.

Kapoor and Stern were also charged with one count of "prescribing, administering or dispensing a controlled substance to an addict." Eroshevich was charged with the same crime for separate prescriptions.

Bail is recommended at $20,000 for each defendant. We know both Stern and Kapoor bailed out Thursday night.

As we first reported, California drug officials recently raided the Los Angeles office of Dr. Sandeep Kapoor, looking for evidence against Stern.

Stern has denied doing anything illegal in connection with drugs and Anna Nicole.

The pictures below -- obtained by TMZ -- were taken in Anna Nicole's bedroom in the Bahamas, shortly after she died. It was stocked with methadone (5 mg per 5 ml), along side Slim-Fast. The Slim-Fast is ironic since Anna was a TRIMSPA spokesperson.

TMZ had obtained docs showing that 13 days before Anna Nicole Smith gave birth to Dannielynn, Dr. Kapoor wrote a prescription for methadone. It was written to Michelle Chase, an alias Anna used.

49. 15. Why is everyone so happy about a man being arrested? Are you all so sure he had something to do with Anna's death? If so, how? Are you intimate friends of her? From what I've seen, Stern seems like a pathetic person who would have done anything to please Anna, and apparently, did so, even at his own peril.

Sad.

Most of these above people have been convicting HKS on a very nasty blog for the past two years. Pay them no attention!
They are really wicked.

50. You cant stop an addict? How is HKS responsible for someone taking their own medicine on their own free will? All The people being charged were not even there together when she passed.

53. The Federal Court just released SEALED docs to send to this investigation to show conspiracy to 'frame' HKS for murder charges. Did this get to CA already?

54. Thank You California!

55. The news I've been waiting for a long time. This guy is about as low as low can go living off a sick addicted woman & feeding her drugs to keep her hooked so he could steal her money.

56. THANK GOD THAT LITTLE GIRL WAS NOT THIS DOUCHE BAGS FATHER. WAIT UNTIL SHE GETS OLD ENOUGH TO FIND OUT THE GUY WHO TRIED TO KEEP HER FROM HER BIO-DAD, IS THE ONE WHO HAD SOMETHING TO DO WITH HER DEATH. JUST TO THINK ALL OF THIS HAPPENED OVER MONEY. AND I BET IF THEY KEEP DIGGING IN TO STERN THEY WILL FIND OUT THAT HE PROBABLY HAD SOMETHING TO DO WITH DANNIEL'S DEATH AS WELL.

They are not charged in her death. Would be a lot more than$20,000 bail.

Watch this blow up in Brown's face big time. Stupid old fart.

60. "one count of unlawfully prescribing a controlled substance. "

HKS is not a physician how he can 'prescribe' anything?
