SANTA MARIA, Calif. (AP) A judge issued an arrest warrant for Michael Jackson on Thursday after he failed to show up for his trial on time and his attorney announced the singer was being treated for a serious back problem.

Superior Court Judge Rodney S. Melville said he would also forfeit Jackson's $3 million bail unless he appeared in court within one hour.
