 The December Right to Work protests at the Capitol cost State Police nearly $900,000. 

A state spokeswoman says close to $800,000 of that went to overtime pay, and another $98,000 went towards travel, lodging, and other expenses.

11 people were arrested during the course of the protests last month.
