Sheriff fires back at 'Survivor' Richard Hatch

Cummings claims Hatch lied

The Associated Press Associated Press

PROVIDENCE, R.I. — The sheriff who oversaw "Survivor" winner Richard Hatch's time in a Massachusetts jail says Hatch is lying about his treatment behind bars.

Hatch complained to NBC's "Today" show Tuesday that sheriff's deputies took him away in his boxer shorts in August after he granted unauthorized TV interviews while serving the remainder of his federal tax evasion sentence on home confinement.

Barnstable County Sheriff James Cummings says Hatch refused to get dressed. Hatch, who lives in Rhode Island, was known for walking around naked on the CBS reality show.

Hatch also complained of serving solitary confinement in a filthy cell, but Cummings said Hatch wasn't in solitary confinement and Hatch himself inspected the cell to make sure it was clean before he stayed in it.

Cummings calls Hatch "a stranger to the truth."
