Anna Nicole Smith conspiracy
LOS ANGELES) - POLICE say Anna Nicole Smith's psychiatrist has surrendered to face charges of excessively prescribing drugs to the former model before her overdose death in 2007.

Police spokesman Rosario Herrera says Khristine Eroshevich turned herself in on Monday.

She did not immediately post the US$20,000 (S$31,000) bail.

Eroshevich is charged with conspiring with another doctor and Smith's lawyer-turned-boyfriend Howard K Stern.

Attorney-General Jerry Brown alleges the doctors falsified prescriptions and prescribed unwarranted amounts of highly addictive medications to Smith.

Eroshevich's attorney says she was only protecting Smith's privacy. -- AP
