Richard Heene, who orchestrated the balloon boy hoax with his wife and three kids, began his sentence this morning at the Larimer County Detention Center in Fort Collins, Colorado.

He pleaded guilty in November to one felony count of attempting to influence a public servant, and will serve 30 days behind bars for his crime. He’ll also be required to serve another 60 days in a work release program, and perform 100 hours of community service per year for the next four years.
