Utah spent more than a quarter of a million dollars executing Taberon Honie earlier this month, prison officials estimated in a news release Tuesday.

The state estimates it paid $288,685.29 for Honie’s Aug. 8 death by lethal injection, the first death sentence carried out in Utah in 14 years. The bulk of that cost – more than $260,000 – was for medical supplies and supplies. Prison officials have previously said they paid $200,000 for the pentobarbital used to kill 48-year-old Honie, twice what authorities in Idaho paid for the same drug last year.

Other costs the Utah Department of Corrections paid for the execution included nearly $11,000 for personnel and overtime, and nearly $17,000 for “event costs” such as materials and other equipment.

Glen Mills, communications director for the Utah Department of Corrections, said the money for the execution came from the agency’s general budget.

Honie spent 25 years on Utah’s death row before being executed in 1998 for the sexual abuse and murder of his ex-girlfriend’s mother, Claudia Benn.

Prison officials previously noted that housing a typical Utah prison inmate for a year costs an average of about $51,000.

Executions are a rare event in Utah. Before Honie’s death, the last time the state executed a man was in 2010, when Ronnie Lee Gardner was killed by firing squad. Before that, the last death by lethal injection in Utah was in 1999.

In July 1998, Honie called his ex-girlfriend and demanded that she visit him. He threatened to kill her family if she refused. Later that evening, Honie took a taxi to Benn’s house. He broke down the door with a rock and then Honie beat and bit her, slit her throat, stabbed her genitals multiple times and had prepared to have anal sex with her before he realized she had died. There were three children in the house during the attack, including his daughter and a child he also sexually abused that same evening.

A judge sentenced Honie to death in 1999, and he appealed that sentence for more than two decades. In the weeks before his death, he repeatedly asked the Utah Parole Board for clemency and filed suit against an untested three-drug combination that prison officials originally planned to use in his execution. None of those efforts were successful, and a judge eventually dismissed his suit after prison officials managed to obtain the pentobarbital used to kill him.

The Utah Attorney General’s Office is currently seeking another execution warrant for another inmate, Ralph Menzies. Prosecutors asked a judge in January to issue the warrant, saying Menzies’ appeals had been resolved and there was no legal reason to stop his execution. But the trial stalled almost immediately after Menzies’ lawyers argued the inmate suffered from dementia and could not be legally executed. An evidentiary hearing to determine whether he is sane is scheduled for November.

Menzies chose to be executed by firing squad. This method of execution was abolished in Utah in 2004, but previously convicted inmates can still choose this option.

Menzies was sentenced to death in 1988 for killing Maurine Hunsaker, a 26-year-old mother of three. He had abducted her from a supermarket in Kearns where she worked. Her body was later found at a picnic area in Big Cottonwood Canyon. She had been strangled and her throat slit.
