Charges Likely Against Father Of 'Balloon Boy'
CBS 4 ^ | 10/17/2009 | CBS 4

Posted on 10/17/2009 6:30:38 PM PDT by ErnstStavroBlofeld

The Larimer County Sheriff says criminal charges are likely expected to be filed against Richard Heene.

Heene is the Fort Collins man who reported his 6-year-old son missing in a helium-filled balloon on Thursday.

The sheriff did not give specific charges, but said they would likely be a class 3 misdemeanor, which could be false reporting.

The sheriff's office is working on getting a search warrant to search the Heene home and is planning a news conference Sunday at 11 a.m.

Richard Heene and his wife Mayumi were interviewed by investigators Saturday.

What a witchhunt! And speaking of witches, how about that Mayumi, hubba hubba! You know how they say that men are from Mars and that women are from Venus? Well Richard and Mayumi are both from Uranus. They state that they are descended from aliens and they will get no challenge on that statement from me!

Maybe an alien probe would teach him a lesson.

Get with it! You have S&R expenses charged to lost/missing hunters and others, what’s the difference, this is a hoax and the perpetrator (the father) needs punishing.

I had read that CPS was looking into this family but don’t know if that’s a rumor or what.

He should also be charged with being really annoying, although I am not sure that there is a law to cover that.

Class 3 misdemeanor in CO carries a $750 fine, max and/or 6 months in jail. Only an idiot would take it to trial - but then again this is Richard Heene, publicity hound.

Too bad. With a law like that our entire Congress could be jailed.

They say there’s no such thing as bad publicity.

If we’re not careful, this website will become like the Evening News. Distract us with the meaningless stories while the Obama Marxists quietly gain control of everything, including everyone’s ability to resist their efforts to stay in office without an election in 2012.

On another forum, someone was saying that the nutball father is a compulsive liar, ‘so he should run for Congress.’ Fair enough.

If there were such a law, we'd have grounds for the impeachment of Barak Obama.
