FRANK BUCKLEY, CNN NATIONAL CORRESPONDENT: Michael Jackson is free on $3 million bail after being processed here at the Inmate Reception Center in Santa Barbara.

After about 30 to 45 minutes, the process was complete, and Jackson emerged with a wave and a victory sign.
Later, he returned to the Las Vegas area, where he had started his day, literally stopping traffic as well-wishers walked up to his SUV to shake his hand.
Jackson's attorney said the singer considers the allegations against him a -- quote -- "big lie."
And in a statement, Jackson said -- quote -- "Lies run sprints, but the truth runs marathons. The truth will win this marathon in court."
And Michael Jackson will next be in court on January 9 for his arraignment.
