Separately, the man charged with poisoning the famous oak trees at Toomer's Corner in Auburn is scheduled to appear in Lee County court Thursday in yet another hearing over the alleged crime that occurred in December 2010. New attorneys were appointed for Updyke last week.

reported today the terrorizing incident in his home state of Louisiana occurred after Updyke tried to return a lawnmower. The newspaper says the store manager offered to return $110 for the lawnmower but Updyke said he wanted $150.

"He had a sad story," said Hammond Police Lt. Vincent Giannobile. "He said he was going to prison anyway, he had a bad heart, and he didn't care. He kept insinuating that he wasn't going to take no for an answer."

According to the newspaper, Updyke said he would "come back and take care of everyone," after the officer on scene told him he was not allowed back on the property. According to the report, he continued to tell the officer he would return to the store and "it would be his last time."

Giannobile said the officer felt Updyke's statements and attitude were threatening, and arrested him.

Updyke was booked into Hammond City Jail at 6:21 p.m. and transferred to Amite Parish Prison on Sept. 19, according to the newspaper.
