The Auburn-Opeleika News reports the order was filed Friday afternoon.
Updyke plead guilty in March to poisoning the iconic trees in 2010 after the Iron Bowl.
Â
A judge ordered the money to go to Auburn University to pay for lost revenue and expenses related to the removal and replacement of the oaks.
Â
Updyke’s attorney has argued he is indigent, and cannot pay the money.
Â
In a court order the judge said Updyke could perform community service to reduce the amount he owes.
The state originally wanted $1.3 million in restitution.
