Michael Jackson's former security chief testified that he worried at times that the singer might overdose on drugs, but he didn't think he was an addict. Michael LePerruque, who traveled with the pop icon for three years a decade ago, returns to the stand Monday for more testimony in the wrongful death trial of Jackson's last concert promoter. AEG Live called LePerruque as a witness in an effort to show jurors that Jackson was a secretive drug addict, making it impossible for its executives to know his life was in danger as he prepared for his comeback tour.
Michael Jackson's mother and three children are suing the promoter, contending the company is liable in his death because it negligently hired, retained or supervised Dr. Conrad Murray, the physician convicted of involuntary manslaughter in Jackson's death. LePerruque, however, spoke glowingly of Jackson and after his first day of testimony last week he sought out Katherine Jackson to give his former boss's mother a hug. He was hired as the chief of Jackson's travel security team after he retired from the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department, where he served as a deputy for 22 years.

There would be a lot of mumbling, and I wouldn't be able to comprehend what he was saying.
He would go to Jackson's room many of those nights to check to make sure he was alright, he said. He appeared to be intoxicated, he said.
Under cross examination by Jackson lawyer Deborah Chang, LePerruque said Jackson's intoxication appeared to be consistent with someone drinking alcohol and taking sedatives to sleep. Did he think he was addicted to drugs? The security chief said he would sometimes notice empty wine bottles from the hotel room's minibar, but he never saw drugs.
He also never witnessed Jackson take medications, he said. He described a scary incident in when Jackson's children dialed for help when they found their father passed out in the hallway of their suite at a Disney World hotel in Orlando, Florida. Paris and Prince, then just 3 and 4 years old, were "crying, saying they couldn't wake up daddy," he testified. Jackson woke up after LePerruque performed mouth-to-mouth resuscitation and shook him, he said.
Paramedics found no signs of a drug overdose, he said. LePerruque said he never confronted Jackson about his drug use because he "didn't want to put him on the defensive. The incidents of slurred speech and incoherent late night phone calls did not happen over the entire time LePerruque worked with Jackson, he said. Bad news hurt Jackson's earning potential, witness says.
Jackson "fought very, very hard not to be on the prescription medications," LaPerruque testified. Photos: Michael Jackson's children in the spotlight.
