Sheriff's detectives interviewed Chris Carter, who worked as Jackson's bodyguard prior to the Sheriff's raid of Jackson's home in 2003. According to Sheriff's Department notes obtained by TMZ, Carter said he would get Xanax prescriptions for Jackson under various fictitious names. Carter told detectives that Jackson would even use his name and the names of other employees to score prescriptions.

In addition to using his name, Carter said Jackson would use the names of Frank Tyson (a Jackson employee who was a prominent figure in the molestation trial, having had numerous contacts with the accuser's family), Jesus Salas (Ranch manager) and Joe Marcus (another Jackson employee) to get prescriptions.

Various pill bottles were found at Jackson's Neverland Ranch. One bottle of Alprazolam (generic for Xanax) was prescribed for Frank Tyson by Dr. Arnold Klein. A bottle of Prednisone found at the Ranch was also prescribed by Dr. Klein in the name of Peter Midani.

A bottle of Percocet, a narcotic painkiller, was found with the name Michael Armstrong, prescribed by Dr. Gerald Labiner.

A bottle of ERY-TAB, an antibiotic, was found with the name "M,M." The prescribing doctor was Dr. Carey Logan from Las Vegas.

A prescription receipt from a pharmacy was found for Alprazolam (generic Xanax) and written for Frank Tyson by Dr. William VanValin. Another receipt from Dr. VanValin was for written for Xanax in the name of Manuel Rivera.

16. How can u use NAMES just to score prescription drugs!! Obtaining meds requires u see the Dr not just call in and ask for something. Um lets see what Dr or anyone can not realize it is Michael in theio office! Yeah! Maybe the pres. drugs were actually those employees!! Who is in the wrong in this case 1. The Dr's who filled prescriptions w/o seeing the person and 2. If the employees were getting them and handing them over to Michael - they are just as liable as the Dr.'s

17. TMZ, tha´s nothing new.
MJ was an icon, he had to work, he made music, he eared a lot of money.
I´m sorry that in all this years no one helped him and this incl. family, friends and doctors.
But he had to "work". His help was "this medicine". What a pity.

18. Michael Jackson was rumored to have taken Thorazine which is a popular horse tranquilizer. I heard his favorite plastic surgoen was Dr. Arturo of Plastikka. He did the good work before the weird look.

20. If I were MJ I'd be taking narcotics too. MJs favorite plastic surgeon, Dr. Arturo Aguillon, of Plastikka was one of his close friends and he said MJ was abusing prescription pills among other things.

22. Who will fill out a prescription with a person named "M,M". That right there is shady even if it was an antibiotic.

23. I heard he was taking Thorazine which is a powerful horse tranquilizer. That's tough stuff. Someone should have reigned him in a long time ago. But who can reign in MJ? No one.

24. The script on the left is from 2003. Are you guys getting desperate. Never let the truth get in the way of a good story.

25. Now the media is concentrating and pointing at Michael being a drug user. Can't you guys just leave him alone???

26. MJ, why... you know there are many people who really care about you and willing to help you without any financial benefit from you... perhaps you'll never trust your fans, which is totally acceptable... but, why were there no one really loves you and cares about you around you?????

27. pffff bla bla bla. look at the expiration dates..... Even dead he has no privacy. Here in Belgium we have a say 'to fill the hole when the calf has drowned'. Where was everyone when he had problems? He hasn't go any anymore now...

28. I believe in Divine justice and If the law doesn't get these doctors, God will!

29. Those prescriptions prescribed by other doctors are clearly emergency visits to the hospital. Does anyone remember Michael's hospital visits? They prescribe the good stuff, no refills and it explains why it's a different doctor. That's all that investigation is saying. Isn't this stuff common sense?
