LUCAS, Iowa (AP) – A judge has ordered a lumber company to pay the state nearly $28,000 for timber harvested without permission from a state forest in south-central Iowa. The attorney general’s office also said Thursday that Moravia Hardwoods, of Moravia, lied to the state on a bond renewal application, so the judge banned the company from buying timber for a year. A company representative said he couldn’t immediately comment. The trees were cut down in the Chariton Unit of Stephens State Forest. The state sued the company, and a trial was held this past August. The judge issued the ruling Monday.
