Did Ex-'Survivor' Winner Shoot Puppy?
Brian Heidik Is Accused Of Shooting Pup With Arrow; He Claims It Was Coyote
 
ATLANTA, July 5, 2006
------------------------------------------------------------------------ --------  
(AP) A winner of the popular television reality show "Survivor" was arrested Wednesday after allegedly shooting a puppy.  
 
Brian Heidik, 38, who is charged with battery and cruelty to animals, said in a bond hearing that he believed the dog was a coyote that had been harassing his pets, WSB-TV reported on its Web site.  
 
But Douglas County Chief Deputy Stan Copeland said it was a puppy.  
 
"At about 3 a.m., his wife called to report that he was outside and that he had shot a puppy that was on his property with an arrow and planned to shoot another one," Copeland said, adding that Heidik's wife and 5-year-old son were at home at the time.  
 
When sheriff's deputies arrived, Heidik fled in his car but was quickly caught and taken back to the home where the incident occurred.  
 
Authorities took custody of the wounded puppy and the second puppy and were trying to determine to whom they belonged.  
 
Heidik did not immediately respond to a message from The Associated Press left on an answering machine at one of two phones listed in his name in Douglasville, Ga., about 21 miles west of Atlanta. There was no answer Wednesday afternoon at the second number.  
 
Heidik, a former used-car salesman and part-time actor, won the $1 million prize as the sole survivor of "Survivor: Thailand," the fifth edition of the CBS adventure game show. It was broadcast from September to December 2002.  
 
Heidik's TV acting credits include appearances on "Baywatch Nights," "Doogie Howser, M.D." and the soap opera "Days of Our Lives." His film credits under the name David Roth include "Chick Street Fighter," and "Virgins of Sherwood Forest," according to IMDB.com, the Internet movie database.

Police: 'Survivor' shot puppy with arrow
 
Thursday, July 6, 2006; Posted: 11:02 a.m. EDT (15:02 GMT)  
 
ATLANTA, Georgia (AP) -- A winner of the popular reality show "Survivor" was arrested Wednesday after allegedly shooting a puppy with an arrow.
 
Brian Heidik, 38, was released on bond after being charged with battery and cruelty to animals.
 
During the bond hearing in Douglas County Magistrate Court, Heidik told a judge he thought the dog was a coyote that has been harassing his pets, WSB-TV reported on its Web site.
 
Douglas County Chief Deputy Stan Copeland said it was a puppy.
 
"At about 3 a.m., his wife called to report that he was outside and that he had shot a puppy that was on his property with an arrow and planned to shoot another one," Copeland said.
 
When sheriff's deputies arrived, Heidik -- who won "Survivor: Thailand" in 2002 -- fled in his car but was quickly caught and taken back to the home where the incident occurred.
 
Heidik's wife, Charmaine, and 5-year-old son were present at the home at the time of the incident, Copeland said.
 
Copeland said there was evidence in the home to support a charge of battery for family violence. Because the case is pending, he could not elaborate on the nature of the evidence.
 
Both the wounded puppy and the second puppy were turned over to animal control officials to determine who they belonged to.
 
Heidik did not immediately respond to a a message from The Associated Press left on an answering machine at one of two phones listed in his name in Douglasville, which is 21 miles west of Atlanta. There was no answer Wednesday afternoon at the second number.
 
Heidik is a former North Carolina State football player, used-car salesman and part-time actor.

Profile of the Sociopath
http://www.hss.caltech.edu/~mcafee/Bin/sb.html
 
*Glibness and Superficial Charm  
 
*Manipulative and Conning  
They never recognize the rights of others and see their self-serving behaviors as permissible. They appear to be charming, yet are covertly hostile and domineering, seeing their victim as merely an instrument to be used. They may dominate and humiliate their victims.  
 
*Grandiose Sense of Self  
Feels entitled to certain things as "their right."  
 
*Pathological Lying  
Has no problem lying coolly and easily and it is almost impossible for them to be truthful on a consistent basis. Can create, and get caught up in, a complex belief about their own powers and abilities. Extremely convincing and even able to pass lie detector tests.  
 
*Lack of Remorse, Shame or Guilt  
A deep seated rage, which is split off and repressed, is at their core. Does not see others around them as people, but only as targets and opportunities. Instead of friends, they have victims and accomplices who end up as victims. The end always justifies the means and they let nothing stand in their way.  
 
*Shallow Emotions  
When they show what seems to be warmth, joy, love and compassion it is more feigned than experienced and serves an ulterior motive. Outraged by insignificant matters, yet remaining unmoved and cold by what would upset a normal person. Since they are not genuine, neither are their promises.  
 
*Incapacity for Love  
 
*Need for Stimulation  
Living on the edge. Verbal outbursts and physical punishments are normal. Promiscuity and gambling are common.  
 
*Callousness/Lack of Empathy  
Unable to empathize with the pain of their victims, having only contempt for others' feelings of distress and readily taking advantage of them.  
 
*Poor Behavioral Controls/Impulsive Nature  
Rage and abuse, alternating with small expressions of love and approval produce an addictive cycle for abuser and abused, as well as creating hopelessness in the victim. Believe they are all-powerful, all-knowing, entitled to every wish, no sense of personal boundaries, no concern for their impact on others.  
 
*Early Behavior Problems/Juvenile Delinquency  
Usually has a history of behavioral and academic difficulties, yet "gets by" by conning others. Problems in making and keeping friends; aberrant behaviors such as cruelty to people or animals, stealing, etc.  
 
*Irresponsibility/Unreliability  
Not concerned about wrecking others' lives and dreams. Oblivious or indifferent to the devastation they cause. Does not accept blame themselves, but blames others, even for acts they obviously committed.  
 
*Promiscuous Sexual Behavior/Infidelity  
Promiscuity, child sexual abuse, rape and sexual acting out of all sorts.  
 
*Lack of Realistic Life Plan/Parasitic Lifestyle  
Tends to move around a lot or makes all encompassing promises for the future, poor work ethic but exploits others effectively.  
 
*Criminal or Entrepreneurial Versatility  
Changes their image as needed to avoid prosecution. Changes life story readily.

Yes, I agree.  He's a creep.  If a coyote was really stalking his pets he might have been up waiting for them.  We do the same thing here only it's with rifles and it's shooting armadillos.  HOWEVER, why did he flee the scene?   Lips Sealed
 
I'm curious about the evidence they found to support a battery charge.

I have always thought of all the players, winners or losers, in this game that Brian came across as the most sociopathic to me.  Cruelty to animals is very very common with those people, so is spousal abuse.  
 
You don't have to be Charles Manson or a serial killer, or a murderer at all to be a sociopath.  Many sociopaths make excellent salesmen, because of their ability to convincingly lie to your face without batting an eye, without remorse.  To me, Brian shows all the classic traits of someone who is a sociopath - someone who does not feel remorse for their actions and has no real sense of connection or love to another human being.  I've thought this about him since I first watched him in Thailand, and this news report certainly hasn't changed my opinion any.

Actually, a bow and arrow would be the best weapon of choice.  It's quiet.  A gunshot would tend to wake everybody.  Perhaps he was just being a considerate neighbor.
