Officer Who Arrested Utah Nurse In Viral Video Is Now Under Criminal Investigation

The police officer seen in a viral video arresting a nurse in Salt Lake City is now under criminal investigation, according to The Salt Lake Tribune.
Salt Lake County District Attorney Sim Gill ordered a criminal investigation Friday into the actions of Detective Jeff Payne who aggressively arrested nurse Alex Wubbels on July 26 for refusing to draw blood from a severely injured patient.
Payne has been placed on administrative leave, The Associated Press reported. The Salt Lake City Police Department also said Friday that two of its employees have been placed on administrative leave while the investigation is underway. It is unclear if Payne is one of the employees mentioned in the agency’s statement.

As seen in the above video, taken by Payne’s body camera, Wubbels, the head nurse of the University of Utah Hospital’s burn unit, remains calm as she explains policy after Payne insists on collecting the blood sample of an unconscious patient.
Wubbels explains she is simply trying to her job, telling the detective “three things that allow us to [give blood samples] are if you have an electronic warrant, patient consent or patient under arrest, and neither of those things … the patient can’t consent. He told me repeatedly that he doesn’t have a warrant and the patient is not under arrest.”
The footage of the arrest shows Payne interrupting Wubbels as she continues to explain the policy to him before placing her in handcuffs, which causes a brief scuffle between the two.
The video, made public Friday, sparked a wave of criticism over Payne’s confrontation with a nurse who appears to be following hospital protocol.

The Salt Lake City PD is probably going to end up paying millions of dollars to settle. How can cops be so stupid, especially when he was wearing a bodycam and it was on?

No one is getting millions from this.

As he should be. That was a disgrace and assault.

The hospital should sue the police department

The nurse is not suing. They showed her on CNN today saying that she is not filing a lawsuit.

If I were the SLC PD Chief, I would make that officer apologize immediately.

He will be fired. She will get paid. Any other outcome is just illogical.

The officer has technically committed the offense of misdemeanor Battery. She was not injured.
According to a source that I read, the officer was ordered to make the arrest from a superior.
I don't see where this is a million dollar type of case.
Keep in mind that police departments and hospitals are very interconnected. I don't see either agency wanting to create bad blood. If the nurse/hospital does, they will have to deal with a hostile police department in the future.
I also doubt the nurse would want to ruin an officer's career over a misunderstanding. At least I hope not.
This is being blown way out of proportion especially since there wasn't a racial component here.

I've been in Law Enforcement for a long time and usually I reserve judgement in situations like this. But, I have to ask myself, how can this officer be so stupid?
Posted on 9/2/17 at 2:23 pm to Street Hawk
Idiot. Go get a warrant, does that even take more than a few minutes?
Posted on 9/2/17 at 2:29 pm to Street Hawk
Not only was it stupid and bad, but he did it to a female nurse. I can't think of a profession I'd rather not piss of more than nurses. And it isn't close.

He is a piece of shite but does the nurse really deserve millions ?
Posted on 9/2/17 at 3:02 pm to Street Hawk
did you see how the nurse defied him? She should have complied and none of this would have happened!
Posted on 9/2/17 at 3:03 pm to Street Hawk
I thought white cops only mistreated black people?
Posted on 9/2/17 at 3:08 pm to Street Hawk
I'm as pro-police as it gets, and that cop needs to not only be fired but get jail time. frick that POS.
