The parents of Fort Collins Balloon Boy Falcon Heene will enter guilty pleas in court Friday as part of a deal to avoid deportation to Japan for Mayumi Heene (shown on right) .
In a statement released early this morning, Heene attorney David Lane said Mayumi will plead guilty to false reporting to authorities, a misdemeanor, with a stipulated sentence to probation.
Attorney David Lane said authorities insisted that Richard Heene "fall on his sword" and take a felony plea.
The Heene family drew international attention Oct. 15 when Richard and Mayumi called 911 to report Falcon had floated away from their home in a UFO-shaped helium balloon.
Millions watched as the balloon's flight was televised live, but Falcon wasn't aboard when it landed near Denver International Airport.
Later in the day the boy appeared at the family home. Under questioning, Falcon Heene spilled the beans and admitted he had been hiding in a garage attic all the time.
In the photo above Falcon Heene shows how he climbed into the garage attic.
