FORT COLLINS, Colo. – Authorities investigating the family accused of perpetrating the balloon boy hoax to promote a reality show said Monday they don't expect to bring possible charges until at least next week.
Larimer County sheriff 's spokeswoman Eloise Campanella said that investigators don't anticipate finishing their reports and presenting them to the district attorney's office until next week. It will then be up to prosecutors to decide whether to file charges against Richard Heene or his wife, Mayumi. The couple's lawyer, David Lane, said earlier in the day that he expected charges to be filed by Wednesday. With television cameras and reporters set up outside the Heene home, Lane has stressed that the Heenes are willing to turn themselves in to avoid the spectacle of a public arrest.
