Maryland spends $5,600 for Gov. Martin O’Malley’s Super Bowl security

Published April 16, 2013 4:00am ET



Maryland paid more than $5,600 to send a security detail when Gov. Martin O’Malley traveled to New Orleans to watch the Baltimore Ravens win the Super Bowl.

The Maryland State Police say $5,627 was spent on airfare, meals, vehicles, hotels and overtime for O’Malley’s Executive Protection Unit during the governor’s trip, according to spokesman Greg Shipley. The agency did not say how much was spent on each, because disclosing the number of troopers on the detail would jeopardize security, Shipley said.
