*Michael Jackson had some unwanted visitors in the form of sheriffs deputies with search warrants at his Neverland Ranch on Tuesday. No reason was given for the search. The only rationale given was that it was a part of an ongoing criminal investigation. Michael's spokesman, Stuart Backerman, told the AP that Jackson and his three children were not at the ranch, but in Las Vegas and have been for three weeks while Jackson is shooting a video there. Backerman declined further comment, saying he still lacked detailed information about the purpose of the investigation. More than 20 investigators from the Santa Barbara County sheriff's and district attorney's offices served a warrant about 8:30 AM as part of an ''ongoing criminal investigation,'' Sgt. Chris Pappas said in a prepared statement. The district attorney's office had no comment, said legal secretary Debbie Popp. As the raid was under way, Court TV reported that the search warrant was tied to allegations brought by a 12-year-old boy. Now we've learned that authorities came to Jackson's ranch also carried an arrest warrant for the pop star. "The Jacksons' family attorney has confirmed that the Santa Barbara County Sheriff has issued an arrest warrant for Michael Jackson," NBC Television reported. MICHAEL JACKSON RESPONDS In response to the media feeding frenzy following reports of a police-conducted search his Neverland ranch Tuesday morning Michael Jackson's spokesman Stuart Backerman has issued a statement. The statement comments that the "rogue's gallery of hucksters and self-styled 'inside sources' ... [are] speculating, guessing and fabricating information about an investigation they couldn't possibly know about." These journalists were also referred to as "the malignant horde of media hounds." "I've seen lawyers who do not represent me and spokespeople who do not know me speaking for me. These characters always seem to surface with a dreadful allegation just as another project, an album, a video, is being released," said Michael Jackson, himself. The statement also says that the 45-year-old popster will cooperate fully with authorities, but does not comment on the ongoing investigation, claiming, "We do not yet know what it is about."
