Sigler’s bill totaled $5,217 and IMPD paid an estimated $3,226. But $17,861 of the costs came from the Inspector General’s office, which opened its inquiry after requests by Gov. Eric Holcomb and legislative leadership.

Sigler declined to file criminal charges against Hill in October, saying he lacked sufficient evidence to secure battery conviction.
