MICHAEL JACKSON'S BODY GUARD ARRESTED IN LAS VEGAS - KEY PROSECUTION WITNESS
MARCH 23--Michael Jackson's former bodyguard, expected to be a key witness in the singer's child molestation case, was arrested in Las Vegas last month on robbery, burglary and kidnapping charges. According to a police report obtained by The Smoking Gun, Christopher Carter, 25, allegedly robbed a Jack in the Box restaurant at gunpoint on February 2, making off with $239. Carter is jailed in a Clark County lockup and is scheduled for a March 28 Justice Court appearance on the various felony charges. It is unclear how Clark's arrest, which came on February 19, will affect his anticipated role as a prosecution witness. As TSG first reported, Carter last year told a Santa Barbara grand jury that, one afternoon, he discovered Jackson's teenage accuser drunk at the star's Neverland Ranch. Carter testified that he confronted the boy, then 13, who replied, "Well, I can handle it. Michael said if I can handle it, it's okay. It's part of being a man." Carter, who worked for Jackson for about a year, testified that the performer told children that he referred to wine as "Jesus Juice" because "Jesus drank wine, so we shall be more like Jesus." Carter is pictured above in a Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department mug shot.
