Auburn police arrested a 29-year-old man they say is responsible for setting the fire to one of the oak trees at Toomer's corner following Auburn's win over LSU on Saturday.
Jochen Wiest, an Auburn resident who police say is "not affiliated with Auburn University," was arrested on Sunday on charges of desecration of a venerable object, a Class A misdemeanor in Alabama, which carries a penalty of up to one year in jail and up to a $6,000 fine.
