The man allegedly responsible for poisoning the live oaks at Toomer's Corner where Auburn fans have long celebrated big wins has been arrested and charged. Auburn Police Chief Tommy Dawson said Harvey Almorn Updyke Jr., 62, of Dadeville, Ala., was arrested at the police station at 1:26 a.m. Thursday and was charged with one count of first-degree criminal mischief. He admitted to making two calls claiming knowledge of the poisoning but later denied actually poisoning the trees, according to court documents. Dawson said Updyke arrived at the jail without an attorney and could face other charges. "This person obviously has problems to do something like this," Dawson said at a news conference outside the administration building. Dozens of students and fans attended the news conference as the Auburn community mourns the apparently imminent demise of the trees. Read more: http://sports.espn.go.com/ncaa/news/story?id=6131518
