The man accused of poisoning the 130-year-old oak trees at Toomer’s Corner in Auburn, Ala., felt threatened in jail and is currently living in a car in the woods, instead of in a rented lake house.
Harvey Updyke Jr., is out of jail on bond. Birmingham, Ala., attorney Glennon Threatt, who is now the fourth lawyer to represent Updyke, said his client wasn’t ready for the “public hatred that he received.”
“He said that he felt threatened (in jail) on multiple and repeated instances,” Threatt told nationally syndicated radio show host Paul Finebaum. “He thought that they were really getting ready to do something to him. He was fearful that he was going to suffer physical harm by either the authorities or by the other people in the jail.”
