![Whitney Houston -- Prescription Drugs Found ... Possible Drowning [Exclusive Photo Update]](http://ll-media.tmz.com/2012/02/12/0211-hero-whitney2-248x127.jpg)
The sheriff from the Balloon Boy fiasco will not be charged with a crime for running his mouth about the Heene family -- and revealing that the county's Child Protective Services team had been asked to investigate Richard and Mayumi in the wake of their hoax.
Heene's attorney had claimed Alderden broke a Colorado law, which bars officials from discussing information about a family investigation publicly.
But now, the Larimer County District Attorney's office tells us they "have carefully reviewed all public statements we were able to find of Sheriff Alderden with regard to the Heene investigation ...
... Although Sheriff Alderden references the fact that the Department of Social Services has become involved, he discloses no data or information obtained from a Deparent of Social Services report, nor does he improperly release any identifying information obtained from records or reports of child abuse.
Thus, no criminal charges are warranted."

In other words: "NO MISTRIAL FOR YOU!" Throw the book at the child-endangering, racist book writing, attention seeking idiot. May the DA and child protective services department give you ALL of their undivided attention.
Hallelujah!!! I think the Sheriff should get his own reality show!!!
good, now quit f'in around and put that crazy f@ck i jail and his "welcome to the china club, a chingachingchangachungachangchung" ahahah darkness!!!!
Once again TMZ ..... Journalism 101:
When you first reference a person in a story, you need to identify WHO THEY ARE ... not just mention their last name ... with clarification coming only later!
Geez. It's embarrassing for your organization. Such low standards. Oh well. It won't ever change. We gotta take it like it is from you guys.
Leave the sheriff alone. They need to go after the balloon family instead.
Good! No reason to charge this man with anything. Charge Richard Heene and stop wasting tax payers money!
Hoooooray! Get that stupid "Hee Hee" & wifey in prison BETWEEN NOW & RIGHT NOW!!
The sheriff is just as guilty of the Heene family at seeking publicity from his unprofessional "off-the-record" Ego Blog.
There should at least be some charges for that shirt he's wearing.
