SANTA BARBARA, Calif. (AP) - The Santa Barbara County sheriff denied Wednesday that Michael Jackson was roughed up in jail, saying he was asking the state attorney general to investigate the pop star's claims.
Sheriff Jim Anderson said that he was taking Jackson's complaint of abuse as a formal citizen's complaint. If Jackson's claims are found to be untrue by a state investigation, Anderson said, he would file a complaint against Jackson for making a groundless accusation against an officer.
