Ok it keeps getting crazier - this story about balloon boy that is. Not Falcon of course, but his dad Richard Heene. It seems that not only did he think of very trick in the book to try and get publicity, he also has a violent streak as well. It seems he has a record as well resulting from this violent temper. In 1984, Heene was convicted of assault with a deadly weapon (a gun) and received three years probation. In 1991, in San Bernardino, CA., Heene was arrested for "corporal injury" - I assume this means assault, on a spouse. He was not convicted. There's more...
Then again in 1997 Heene pled no contest to vandalism and spent four days in jail. See a pattern developing here? But that isn't the worst of it. At the time Richard Heene was a contractor and got into a dispute with an employee over payment for a job. Unable to collect the $300, the employee followed Heene to his home. There they got into a scuffle and Heene ended up striking the guys car with his pickup truck, not once but several times. According to witnesses he got out of the truck picked up a wooden beam, held it over his head and screamed at the guy, "Get the f**k away." Seems this is his way of dealing with situations that go badly for him?
Oh, well. We will all be tired of this soon - I'm sure somebody else will do something even stupider to get even more attention. Until then, here is another video if you missed it:
