"The Insider" has obtained the booking photo for Richard Heene -- and the details about how he turned himself in.

Heene turned himself in Thursday at the Larimer County Detention Center on charges of attempting to influence a public servant, which is a class four felony. His wife, Mayumi Heene, was not present.

He was released on a $5000 bond.

Heene turned himself in after charges were filed against him Thursday morning. Heene and his wife have been accused of falsely reporting that their six-year-old son Falcon was stuck in a flying experimental balloon. He was later found to have been in the family's garage.

  • Well, it could have been worse. Think of little Shaniya Davis, pimped out by her own mom, and eventually thrown dead to the side of the road. I say give the Heene's a break. They admitted they were wrong. Leave it at that.
