Delaware State Police spending more than $184,000 in overtime and helicopter costs during last year’s Vaughn Correctional Prison riot. Delaware State News filed a FOIA request to get the information. About $108,000 of overtime was racked up during the initial response operation; $69,000 during the subsequent investigation. However, state police say they were only able to provide numbers for overtime costs, so its unknown exactly how much the incident cost the state.
