Sheriff Investigated Over Balloon Boy Comments

Sheriff Investigated Over Balloon Boy CommentsThe tell-it-like-it-is Sheriff who first labeled the Balloon Boy incident a "hoax" will be investigated by the local D.A. -- for allegedly telling a little too much about the Heene family.

Larimer County Sheriff Jim Alderden is on the hot seat after recently announcing that the county's Child Protective Services team had been asked to investigate Richard and Mayumi Heene in the wake of the hoax.

Heene's attorney claims Alderden broke a Colorado law, which bars officials from discussing information about a family investigation publicly.

So far, no comment from the Sheriff.

1.
I said it before, but this guy comes across as too much of a egotistical showman, which I reckon is unprofessional.

2. I totally agree, I believe there was many things that the Sheriff said that was very unprofessional. What the family did was so wrong. But he still has to act like a professional. He almost cheapened what the family did, kinda making a joke of it all.

3. This scum "heene" CANNOT be exposed enough. For anyone to attack the sheriff for exposing this jerk are showing themselves to be similar jerks.
I am willing to praise this sheriff for his work on this despicable case and the jerk that recruited and allowed his family to take part in this dangerous phony act.
Just how would YOU like to be in an airplane that sucked that balloon into an engine???????

7. Well, the Heene's might get off now. The Sheriff knows the laws there. That's really weird in my opinion.

9. Wow, the person is a level headed man doing his job - ok he embelished a bit on the family bizz, but that is no reason to smack him in the face with it - this family is a discrace! They should have been exposed for what they did and now for the crap that they have put those kids through. This is a crazy, abusive family - HELLO - its nothing worse than what US magazine would have put out or what TMZ would have dug up and published.
I'm just saying......

10. Ha - great tactic Heene - try to deflect some of the attention off yourself! (my husband tries that all the time - doesn't work)

11. I THINK IT'S ABOUT TIME TO QUIT CALLING HIM THE "BALLON BOY" AND PUT THE BLAME WHERE IT BELONGS. "BALLON DAD" WHAT A NUT!

12. This guy isn't level headed. He's a sexist blowhard who seems to think he's John Wayne or something.

13. So true #8.

14. Come on!! The Heene family gets everyone involved in their hoax and they are now the victims?? They shouldn't have gotten the Sheriff's dept and all the other gov. agencies involved in their stupid game. If the Sheriff gets in trouble or sued then he should turn around and sue the Heene family.

15. Oh so what! This Sheriff is one cool dude, leave him alone! I also admit some of the things he said weren't quite proffesional, but what the hay hay, it's Colorado where the Buffalo roam and this was a bizarre incident. I think more people should start telling it the way it is. DA is just mad their big speech was undercut by a tell it the way it is Hero.
