Police Accuse Parents Of "Balloon Boy" Of Perpetrating Hoax

FORT COLLINS, CO - OCTOBER 19: A note announcing the decline of interviews to the media is displayed on the front door of the home of Richard and Mayumi Heene on October 19, 2009 in Fort Collins, Colorado. The couple is possibly facing felony counts of contributing to the delinquency of a minor and attempting to influence a public official, and for a misdemeanor count of providing false information to authorities for their role in a hoax last week when they falsely reported their six year-old son Falcon had been carried off in a homemade balloon from their backyard. The couple could face up to six years in prison and a fine of up to $500,000 on each of two felony counts. Officials contend the event was a hoax intended to garner the family more attention in hopes of landing a role in a reality television show. (Photo by Marc Piscotty/Getty Images)
