King County spent $6K a day to guard Ridgway

11:17 AM PST on Thursday, December 11, 2003

Associated Press

SEATTLE - The King County sheriff’s office spent $6,000-$7,000 a day to guard Gary Ridgway for four months at the Green River Task Force headquarters.

It costs $77 a day to hold him at the county jail.

That added expense is one reason the sheriff’s office overspent its budget by $1.5 million.

Gary Ridgway faces a judge and pleads guilty to 48 counts of aggravated first degree murder.
The sheriff’s office asked the King County Council budget committee to pay about one million dollars of the unexpected costs Wednesday and the committee said no. The matter could come up again at Monday’s council meeting.

The sheriff’s office says it took longer than expected to work with Ridgway on the confession that led to 48 guilty pleas. He’ll be sentenced next Thursday to life in prison.
