Cost of hunt for escaped NY killers topped $1 million a day

State comptroller records obtained by The Associated Press for June and July show overtime totaled $41 million for the corrections department and $17.6 million for state police. That's roughly twice the amount spent for those months in 2014.

Those two agencies led the 23-day manhunt by more than 1,100 officers for Richard Matt and David Sweat, who escaped June 6 from Clinton Correctional Facility in Dannemora.

Police: Plane diverted to Boston because of unruly passenger

Police say troopers boarded the British Airways plane after it landed safely at Logan International Airport around noon Wednesday.

Authorities say a male passenger was reportedly being disruptive and several other passengers restrained him.

It's unclear what the nature of the disruption was but a statement released by British Airways says customers and crew shouldn't have to suffer any form of abuse. The airline says such behavior will not be tolerated.

The Latest: Escaped killer was shot 3 times in the head

New York State Police released details of Richard Matt's autopsy on Sunday.

Officials say Matt also had bug bites on his legs, blisters and minor abrasions that would be expected for someone who had been living in the woods. Toxicology results are still pending.

Matt was shot and killed by a member of a U.S. Customs and Border Protection Tactical Unit on Friday. He and another inmate escaped from a maximum-security prison near the Canadian border on June 6.

Hundreds of law enforcement personnel are still searching for David Sweat.
