Jackson inquiry leads to raid of pharmacy

— Federal drug agents raided a Beverly Hills pharmacy Friday as part of the investigation into Michael Jackson's death.

Drug Enforcement Administration agents served a warrant at the Mickey Fine Pharmacy & Grill, seeking evidence of improper dispensing of controlled substances, agency spokesman Jose Martinez said.

Agents left with at least one box containing records after a search that lasted about five hours.

A message left seeking comment from the manager of the pharmacy was not immediately returned.

The pharmacy sued Jackson in January of 2007, claiming the singer owed more than $100,000 for prescription drugs over the previous two years. The matter was quickly resolved.
