Balloon Boy Family Home Searched; Criminal Charges Pending
Posted on Oct 18, 2009 @ 07:28AM
The hoax is up. The Larimer County Sheriff's Office searched the home of Balloon Boy late Saturday night and early Sunday morning in preparation for filing charges of "False Reporting."

Speaking with reporters, Sheriff Jim Alderden would only say the charge would likely be a Class 3 misdemeanor; false reporting falls into that category. Alderden noted though that this hardly seemed sufficient given the massive emergency response that was mounted after Richard and Mayumi Heene claimed that their son Falcon, 6, had been carried away by their home-made helium balloon shaped like a flying saucer.
The Heene Family May Have To Pay For Falcon's Search
Police, medical, and search & rescue teams were dispatched. The FAA stopped air traffic in the area. Alderden said he is coordinating with Federal authorities and the FAA and other charges against the Heenes may be forthcoming.

Well another reality tv wannabe! Abusing children for the sake of "entertainment". When will it all just stop? Children are children...not animals in a zoo for our "entertainment".

Geeze, what a tool this guy is. And what's with his hair? My son wore that cut when he was six!

It's "their" mind, "their" story....not "there". There are always so many glaring spelling errors on here. This guy has had his 15 minutes of fame - he needs to face the music and go away quietly.

There are so many additional charges that can be brought, forget this petty stuff. And where were all the smart people that could have told them from the begining that there wasn't enough helium in that thing to lift a 50 lb boy?

50lbs?? I doubt he weighs that much

It's called 'innocent until proven guilty'... a concept your legal system has had for years...
