The man accused of poisoning the trees at Toomer's Corner in Auburn currently is living in a car and bathing himself in a creek, a friend of his said Tuesday.
Wayne Barnes said he would not disclose the location of his friend, Harvey Updyke Jr., who is accused of dumping an herbicide into the soil around the two live oaks. Barnes owns the house on Lake Martin where Updyke had been living when he was arrested. Barnes said he let Updyke live there for reduced rent for about two years.
