Harvey Updyke Jr.'s attorney, Glennon Threatt Jr., said Wednesday night that he entered a plea of not guilty for reasons of mental disease or defect. Threatt says the hearing was waived because Updyke had a procedure on his back on Tuesday and wouldn't be able to travel.
Threatt says prosecutors filed a motion Saturday for a mental evaluation and gag order in the case.
The 62-year-old Updyke was indicted on two felony counts of first-degree criminal mischief, two felony counts for unlawful damage, vandalism or theft of property from a farm animal or crop facility and two misdemeanor counts of desecrating a venerated object.
