Wife of Survivor finalist Heidik charged with spousal battery
LOS ANGELES (AP) — The wife of Survivor: Thailand finalist Brian Heidik faces trial Monday for allegedly attacking her husband, officials said.
Charmaine Heidik, 30, was arrested Nov. 17 at the couple’s suburban Los Angeles home in Quartz Hill, according to the district attorney’s office. She faces a misdemeanour count of spousal battery.
Released without bail, she was ordered by the court to stay at least 90 metres away from her husband and his residence and not own or use any deadly weapons, according to Court TV’s The Smoking Gun Web site.
Heidik allegedly punched her husband in the nose, the Web site said.
She has pleaded not guilty. If convicted, she faces a maximum sentence of one year in jail and a $1,000 US fine, the district attorney’s office said Friday. Superior Court Judge Randolph Rogers was scheduled to hear the case.
The CBS reality series Survivor: Thailand will conclude with a two-hour episode airing Thursday in which the $1 million winner will be decided. Brian Heidik is one of four finalists.
