What is Richard Heene getting out of the balloon boy incident? A Class C Misdemeanors. The balloon boy charges is considered by some to be too light. A few days ago the news about the balloon boyhit the headlines. But it cames out to be some sort of hoax when the family was interviewed on TV and the balloon boy said that "they were doing it for a show". Was it really a hoax? I could not tell. For those who do not know it, the balloon boy incident involved a homemade weather balloon that accidentally flew off and was said to have carried the six-year-old son of Richard Heene and Mayumi Heene. A chase for the balloon took place and everyone was focused on the balloon worrying about the boy, but when the balloon landed it was found out that no boy was there. It was later found out that the boy did not board it in the first place but just hid in their attic. Here is the story about the balloon boy: Balloon Boy
