Back in February 2020, WPXI News reported that Heist allegedly broke into a barn-turned-studio in Butler County, Pennsylvania, and made off with over $650 worth of items, per details listed in court papers. According the report, the alleged burglary happened in 2017, but the victim reportedly didn't realize it until some time later. The man is said to have told police that he made the realization when he went to Heist's shop and purchased back a mirror that supposedly belonged to him that he previously assumed to be missing.

At the time the WPXI News report was published — February 3, 2020 — it was noted that he was due to appear in court in March 2020. No official reports as to the status of the case have been publicly published, and it seems that the situation is still ongoing.
