OPELIKA, Ala. -- The Alabama fan who poisoned the iconic Toomer's Corner oak trees at rival Auburn has been sentenced to three years in prison.

Harvey Updyke Jr. pleaded guilty on Friday to criminal damage of an agricultural facility. The sentence requires him to serve at least six months in jail and spend five years on supervised probation for the Class C felony. He has been credited with 104 days already served.

Lee County Circuit Judge Jacob A. Walker III also fined the former Texas state trooper $1,000. The probation terms include a 7 p.m. curfew and prohibit Updyke from going onto Auburn's campus or attending a college sporting event.

I wish this would be the last we'd hear of this.

It should die down unless he does something stupid while on probation.

The only time we probably will hear of it again is when Auburn brings it up when planting their trees.  From now on, though, if Updyke appears in the press, it will be as "convicted tree murderer Harvey Updyke."

He (Updyke) will also be required to register with Home Depot Garden Dept. as a convicted tree poisoner and will be prohibited from living anywhere within 2000 feet of a  forest.
