Alabama fan arrested on charges of poisoning hallowed Auburn trees

Montgomery, Ala., police have arrested a 62-year-old University of Alabama football fan for allegedly poisoning two gigantic oaks trees where rival Auburn celebrates big gridiron victories, particularly defeating Alabama.

Montgomery's WFSA- TV quotes horticultural experts as saying the 130-year-old live oak trees were hit with a "very lethal dose" of a herbicide one week after Auburn beat Alabama 28-27. The arrest came after the suspect, Harvey Almorn Updyke Jr. of Dadeville, Ala., allegedly called in to a Birmingham-based radio show using an alias to brag about putting killer herbicides in the soil at the spot in Auburn, Ala., known as Toomer's Corner.
