AUtiger98 24 Posted April 20, 2011 Share Posted April 20, 2011 I'm amazed he got out of the ER so quickly. Any time I've been to the ER, I'm there a minimum of 4 hours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ShocksMyBrain 9,364 Posted April 20, 2011 Share Posted April 20, 2011 So he was in and out of the hospital that quickly with head trauma? I was in Brookwood for a few hours for 3 stitches. Send some of those magical doctors to birmingham. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ValleyTiger 2,894 Posted April 20, 2011 Share Posted April 20, 2011 Harvey Updyke treated for head injuries after alleged attack following court appearance over Toomer's Corner trees By Charles Goldberg/Auburn Bureau, The Birmingham News, Press-Register, and The Huntsville Times al.com Harvey Updyke's attorney says his client was struck in the head at a gas station in Opelika a short time after leaving a courthouse where he waived his right to a preliminary hearing over the poisoning of the iconic oak trees at Toomer's Corner in Auburn. An employee at the Tiger Express gas station in Opelika said Updyke said he was "jumped behind the store," but the employee didn't know any other details. The employee, who requested not to be identified, said she did not see any police cars or ambulances at the gas station. "Somewhere right outside of Opelika Harvey stopped at a gas station to get a drink and some gas, and when he got out of his car, it went black," Threatt said. "He woke up on the ground. He had been hit in the head with something. He wandered into the gas station in pain, and they directed him to a local emergency room." Threatt received treatment at the emergency room. He has since talked to the police. Threatt said Updyke had received facial bruises and a split in his brow "He's been released from the emergency room, and I'm not a doctor, but when they release you they think it's OK," Threatt said. "It doesn't sound like he required stitches. It doesn't sound like he's got permanent injuries, other than he may have a slight concussion." The court said Updyke could leave Alabama and to be with his family in Louisiana while awaiting trial. My link Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jaredm2012 0 Posted April 20, 2011 Author Share Posted April 20, 2011 OA News Update: 4:30 p.m.Harvey Updyke Jr., the man accused of poisoning the Toomer’s Oaks, allegedly suffered minor injures during an assault at an Opelika gas station after his preliminary hearing on Wednesday. Updyke suffered a scratch to the forehead during an alleged assault by unknown assailants at Tiger Express on U.S. Highway 280 after his preliminary hearing in Lee County District Court, according to Opelika police Capt. Allan Elkins. Elkins said the injuries were minor and could result in misdemeanor charges depending on the results of the investigation. Elkins said Updyke could not identify or describe the assailants, and the station did not have video surveillance in the parking lot where the alleged assault happened. “He has not really been too cooperative at this point,” Elkins said. Updyke’s attorney, Glennon Threatt Jr., first reported the alleged assault on the Paul Finebaum radio show. Threatt waived his client’s prelimary hearing Wednesday afternoon as part of a deal for limited discovery in the case which will go before a Lee County grand jury in May. Naturally he can't describe the attackers and there wasn't video surveillance in the parking lot. He just "went black" when he got out of the car.

ShocksMyBrain 9,364 Posted April 20, 2011 Share Posted April 20, 2011 I don't spend much time behind gas stations, is that the cool new hang out spot? What a coincidence it would be if he showed up and some ruffians who just happened to know he was were there as well. It also just so happens there are no security cameras back there as well. Sorry, but if I'm "attacked", I would be notifying the police immediately. What a joke. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikey 16,579 Posted April 20, 2011 Share Posted April 20, 2011 I think that's the station at the intersection of 280 and 147. If so, there is no reason for anybody to be behind the station, there is ample parking in front and on both sides. And c'mon: If somebody had attacked Updyke with malice in mind, there would have been more damage than a scratch. Laughable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tgr4lfe 220 Posted April 20, 2011 Share Posted April 20, 2011 Anyone know that gas station well? Any reason to go behind it? Yes, I know it. It used to have a drive thru for a fast food joint. Other than that there is no reason to go behind it, if it is the one at the intersection of Hw 280 & the turn to Grand National Golf Course.

Whether it's that one or the one at 280 and 147, there is absolutely no reason to be behind either of them, unless you're picking through the garbage.
