Harvey Updyke has paid $99 of nearly $800,000 of restitution to Auburn
Harvey Updyke could be in violation of the terms of his probation after the Auburn Plainsman reported that he has failed to pay restitution to Auburn University after poisoning its famed Toomer’s Corner Oaks in 2010.
The Oaks eventually died and were removed from the corner last year.
Updyke served six months in jail, was placed on five years probation and also was ordered to pay the university $500 per month in restitution. However, since his release in Jun 2013, Updyke has paid $99 of the $796,731.98 he owes in restitution fees to Auburn University. According to the Plainsman, one of the terms of Updyke’s probation is to make the payments and failure to do so could result in a violation of his probation.
The Oaks were preserved for a couple years after the poisoning before eventually being cut down last year. They were replaced by a series of polls and wires so falls could still “roll” the area after Auburn wins. The soil in the area has been replaced and it is deemed disease-free. Plans to plant new oaks in a high-tech environment that will maximize their chance to survive are set for 2015.
