Irony: Fly the Balloon Boy’s Momma Back To Japan! (Charges Filed)

The Larimer County district attorney’s office Thursday said Richard Heene has been charged with one count of attempting to influence a public servant, a felony, and Mayumi Heene has been charged with one count of false reporting to authorities, a misdemeanor.

The Heenes have agreed to turn themselves in on a personal recognizance bond to be set by a judge, the district attorney’s statement said. They will appear Friday in Larimer County Court, where they are expected to plead guilty, their attorneys said.

The threat of deportation for Mayumi Heene was a factor in the plea deal negotiation, the attorney’s statement said.

“Mayumi Heene is a citizen of Japan. As such, any felony conviction or certain misdemeanors would result in her deportation, even though her husband and children are Americans,” the statement said.

“It is supremely ironic that law enforcement has expressed such grave concern over the welfare of the children, but it was ultimately the threat of taking the children’s mother from the family and deporting her to Japan which fueled this deal.”

Imagine if she had to fly her ass back to Japan because of this hoax. Pwn’d.
