LOS OLIVOS, Calif. - Michael Jackson, who left his Neverland estate on Friday soon after investigators arrived to search it, returned by helicopter the following day and provided authorities a DNA sample at their request, the Santa Barbara News-Press reported Sunday.
A cotton swab placed in Jackson's mouth was used to collect the sample, the newspaper reported, citing sources it did not identify.
It wasn't immediately clear how authorities planned to use the sample in Jackson's child molestation case.
The 46-year-old entertainer has pleaded not guilty to charges of child molestation, conspiracy and administering an intoxicating agent, alcohol, to his alleged victim. He is scheduled to stand trial Jan. 31.
