Paul Finebaum caller talking about poisoning the Auburn University Toomer's corner trees.
The tip from "Al" on the call led to testing of the soil by Auburn and confirmed. Harvey Almorn Updyke Jr., 62 of Dadeville, was arrested Thursday and was charged with one count of first-degree criminal mischief. His bond is set at $50,000.
Auburn does not expect the trees to survive, but is doing everything possible to save them.
