Harvey Updyke is an Alabama fan who poisoned and killed the trees at Toomer's Corner in Auburn.

quote:

Harvey Updyke Jr. has paid the first half of $700 in restitution ordered by a Lee County judge, who warned he would be arrested if he failed to pay the amount by Feb. 11.

Lee County Circuit Court Judge Jacob A. Walker ordered Updyke to make the restitution payments during a hearing in December after finding the 66-year-old willfully in contempt for failing to make regular payments in 2014.

Updyke, who pleaded guilty to poisoning the live oaks at Toomer’s Corner in Auburn, was ordered to pay $350 by Jan. 9 and the remaining amount by Feb. 11 or arrest warrants would be issued.

Walker amended the conditions of Updyke’s probation in December, forbidding him from having any social media accounts. He also ordered Updyke to cancel unnecessary or noncritical services in his home — such as cable television, smartphone service and the Internet — to free up more funds.

and trees that are a part of AU's tree-dish-un that were dying anyway due to chit paper being thrown on them. Not that ole Harvey should have used poison.

Seriously, let it go. This is casting a shadow over the court and the city of Auburn at this point. The continued flogging of a clearly mentally disturbed individual is less than palatable.

Just one more man for these downtrodden and mentally inferior Alabama men to worship.

Eventually, that concrete will crack from age. Maybe an auburn fan should just help it along?

whats done is done. we, as AU fans, just need to let it go. it cannot be undone, whatever happens happens.

the more you post shite about him, the more spotlight you give him, which prolongs his 15 mins of fame. just let it go and move on.

Maybe. Trees are replaceable, hand prints of dead legends are not.

I still think the best penalty he should pay is to plant a thousand trees around the state.

All the time wearing orange and blue jump suit, with a quote on the back that says " I shallt not call Paul Finebaum."

Win-win.

AU fans love Updyke....no one gives a shite about him except Auburn fans. It feeds their self righteousness and their victim mentality. Gives them something to feel good about besides their dismal season, collapses against their rivals, and the creeping reality their coach is a joke.
