An Alabama football fan awaiting trial for his alleged involvement in the poisoning of Auburn's beloved trees at Toomer's Corner has been arrested in Louisiana following a dispute over refund for a lawnmower.
The Hammond Daily Star (http://bit.ly/NNBb6t ) reports 63-year-old Harvey Updyke Jr. wanted $150 for returning a lawnmower to Lowe's but the store manager told him he was due $110.
The situation escalated Sept. 18 and police were called. One officer told Updyke he needed to contact an attorney because it was a civil case.
Updyke says he was going to jail anyway and he "had a bad heart so he would come back and take care of everyone."
Officers booked him into the Tangipahoa Parish jail on a terrorizing charge.
He's since been released on a surety bond.
