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."

The 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.

The Heene family just wanted a reality show -- and now Dog the Bounty Hunter has an easy solution for getting them on one: Just jump bail.

As TMZ previously reported, criminal charges could be filed against one or both parents -- but arrests aren't expected until next week.

With the entire country still fixated on their every move, Richard Heene, his wife Mayumi, Falcon and their other two boys showed a united front while at a grocery store in Colorado today.

This wasn't a hoax. They really went to the store.

UPDATE 2:20 PM ET -- A TLC official tells TMZ the Heene family approached the network "months ago" with a reality show idea, but the network passed.
TMZ has learned the Heene family has been pitching a reality show about the wacky family, as one TV source put it, "all over town."

We're told Richard Heene pitched a series to Relativity Real, as well as RDF Productions. RDF produces "Wife Swap," on which the family appeared back in March.
We're also told the Heene's have made the rounds at the networks, including TLC. Of course, TLC produced "Jon & Kate Plus 8."
So is balloon boy the ultimate reality show pitch?
Stay tuned...
