Knocked the fuck out at a gas station in Opelika.

Claims he stopped in Opelika to get a drink, and was hit over the head exiting his car.

If he pulled over ANYWHERE in Lee County, he deserved what he got. I think he was looking for an ass whipping.

Yep. Since it was at a gas station/convenience store there ought to be plenty of video of the alleged beating.

You fear for your life in Lee County so you leave the courthouse and go straight to a gas station. Get out of the car and "Black out". Go to the nearest ER while in the meantime, an anonymous caller calls a TV station in Montgomery to say Updick has been stabbed. TV stations reporter just happens to be right there, walks in the ER as Updick is walking in. His attorney is on the phone, not with the police, not with the DA....but with Pawwwl Finebaum claiming his client was "assaulted".

Naaaa....wasn't staged.

According to an employee at Tiger Express (the gas station this allegedly took place at) "Don't know what happened..we haven't seen anything like he said.. what he said is not adding up."

I agree...it's a change of venue attempt. The video should be interesting. Also, isn't a CAT Scan done if you've been admitted to the ER for being knocked out? Which Hospital did he go to?

Hoping Robbie Treese can add this charge to Updyke's file.

How is it that Evan Woodberry is all over this "confirming" it?

An employee of the store confirmed the story Woodberry says.

No. She confirms that Bamadyke TOLD her he got ambushed. Big, big difference.

Fire Evan Woodberry.

SON OF A FUCKING BITCH THESE BAMMERS KEEP INFURIATING ME RRRAAAAHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

Seriously. I'm about ready to...to...I don't know what. This is ridiculous.

Because I knew it was coming. I knew it would get to this point when Finebaum, Brando, and the bammer cronies were on his show telling Auburn fans to "get over it." That they were just trees. That we'd move on, and it wasn't that important of a tradition anyway.

I knew someone would attempt to drag Auburn fans down with them. Make us look just as bad. Make us be the worse Updykes.

I can hear the quotes. "Updyke damaged a couple of insignificant trees. Auburn fans committed violence against a human being."

I wouldn't put it past them to blow up Denny Chimes and say an Auburn fan did it. Just to spite us.

And Evan Woodberry? Needs to go.

Harvey Updyke treated in emergency room after alleged attack following court appearance over Toomer's Corner trees
Published: Wednesday, April 20, 2011, 4:23 PM Updated: Wednesday, April 20, 2011, 4:51 PM
Charles Goldberg/Auburn Bureau, The Birmingham News, Press-Register, and The Huntsville Times 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.

Attorney Glennon Threatt told of the incident on the Paul Finebaum radio show.

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.

Opelika police Capt. Allan Elkins said Updyke suffered a scratch to the forehead during the alleged assault at the Tiger Express, according to the Opelika-Auburn News.

Elkins said Updyke "has not really been too cooperative at this point."

Elkins told the newspaper that Updyke could not identify or describe assailants, and gas station did not have surveillance in parking lot.

Threatt said the incident happened like this:

"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."

Updyke 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. Today's court story is here.

I'm a bit disappointed in the fabricated fairy tale of Updyke's Attack.

Woudn't it have been better for him to say, "I vaguely remember the guy. Yes. It's coming clear now. He was kind of short. About 5'8 or 5'9. Kind of thick. Black guy. Tough looking black guy. He was wearing a hat with the #5 on it and a Little Rock Christian t-shirt. Something like that. Someone screamed "Fire!" Or was it "Dryer?" I can't remember. But whoever screamed that pulled this guy away and that's when I really blacked out."

Also I'm hearing that he was in the ER for a little less than an hour? Is that true?

Because if you ask me, a head injury is kept for a while. Just in case nausea or dizziness shows up.
