The city racked up $187,000 in police overtime during the pop icon's funeral service, representing 5 percent of the $4 million budget for the year.
In Westfield, where Houston was laid to rest, $9,000 in police overtime was spent, a necessary cost to make sure no one got hurt, officials said. More including the video report.
