Richard and Mayumi Heene, parents of the infamous Balloon Boy, have been fined $42,000. The funds will go to the agencies who were part of the rescue attempts when it was believed that their son Falcon Heene was in their homemade aircraft, but it all turned out to be a massive hoax!
The money will reimburse the police, national guard and Federal Aviation Administration.
The Heenes’ lawyer has said they won’t be paying anything until they see receipts for the costs of the rescue team.
We think they should just pay the money and shut up!
Their punishment could have been a whole lot worse!
