Los Angeles - An ex-boyfriend of Anna Nicole Smith who is currently serving six years in state prison for making criminal threats against her wants a piece of her inheritance, according to documents filed with Superior Court.
Mark Hatten, who listed his current address as the Pleasant Valley State Prison in central California, dated Smith in 2000, but was later found guilty of threatening her with a knife and assaulting one of her neighbours. He was acquitted of stalking her.
Hatten's website said he was writing a memoir entitled "Hollywood Bad Boy: Sex, Drugs, and Anna Nicole".
He filed his claim on Wednesday in Superior Court. Repeated calls Friday to his representatives were not returned.
Smith married Texas oil tycoon J Howard Marshall II in 1994 when he was 89 and she was 26. He died in 1995.
The reality TV star and former Playboy Playmate of the Year had fought Marshall's family over his estimated $500m fortune from his death until her own death earlier this year of an accidental overdose of prescription drugs.
