In 2005, a local TV reporter revealed that Kilpatrick had leased a $25,000 Lincoln Navigator for his wife, Carlita, with whom he has three sons, through the city's police department. He also charged more than $200,000 worth of spa treatments, Las Vegas hotel bills and restaurant tabs on a city-issued credit card.
