Erik Flees to Las Vegas After Being Mistaken For Michael Jackson

The same... man?

-- SANTA BARBARA, California

ENN has learned that Santa Barbara county sheriffs recently tried to capture Erik, after mistaking him for the self-proclaimed King of Pop, Michael Jackson.

The incident spurred Erik to flee California for Las Vegas, Nevada.  While in Vegas, Erik went into hiding with a college friend identified only as Nick C., who helped hide Erik by taking him backstage at a fabulous Temptations concert.  Nick C. reportedly plays in The Temptations' band, rocking it like there's no tomorrow.  Also while in Las Vegas, Erik was seen gambling away at least $2.35 at a nickel slot machine.

Stay with ENN as we watch Erik continue to hide from the authorities in California.
