I see the one of the possible charges is "contributing to the delinquency of a minor".

If that sticks, the entire internet could be arrested.

Richard Heene had a children's TV show called BOX TIME.
You can't make stuff like this up. You can buy the VHS on Amazon.

The Amazon reviews are awesome:

I bought this video for my children, in order to introduce to them the fun, wholesome world of boxes. What happened instead was that they just decided to hide away in boxes all the time! I eventually told them "enough!" and put the boxes away in the attic, but that didn't stop them! They found it even easier to hide away for long periods because I never thought to look for them up there! It has gotten so bad that I cannot have any boxes around the house at all! Even the smallest boxes! I will sometimes find my youngest curled up in bed with a shoe box on his head, sound asleep, with that tissue paper that comes with the shoes stuck to his lip. It is wrecking my home! I will still be checking out Box Time #2, in case it offers a more healthy view of boxes and box activities.

Until this day I had only regarded the common household box as container for inanimate objects. Such a fool was I!

This VHS changed everything. My eyes have been opened to the many, many uses of boxes.

For instance, this afternoon I hid from police in a box for several hours, while the global community believed I was suffering asphyxiating hypothermia in a speeding weather balloon built by my UFO-obsessed parents.

It reminds me of my weighted companion cube.


I miss my cube.

As Richard Heene completed his 90-day sentence with home detention this month, his wife, Mayumi Heene, began serving her 20-day sentence on weekends, according to a jail official. Her time is not spent in a jail cell, but on a Saturday and Sunday work detail, a probation official said.

Prosecutors said the couple staged their son's disappearance last October to generate publicity for themselves because they wanted to star in a reality television show. Richard Heene pleaded guilty in November to a felony count of attempting to influence a public servant, while she pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor of making a false report. The judge also sentenced the couple to four years probation.

That was much sooner than I expected. I wonder who he pays and how they arrived at that amount.
