Hospital nurse arrested after refusing illegal blood draw order

A nurse says she was assaulted and illegally arrested by a Salt Lake City police detective for following a hospital policy that does not allow blood draws from unconscious patients.
Footage from University Hospital and officer body cameras shows Detective Jeff Payne and nurse Alex Wubbels in a standoff over whether the policeman should be allowed to get a blood sample from a patient who had been injured in a July 26 collision in northern Utah that left another driver dead.
Wubbels says blood cannot be taken from an unconscious patient unless the patient is under arrest, unless there is a warrant allowing the draw or unless the patient consents. The detective acknowledges in the footage that none of those requirements is in place, but he insists that he has the authority to obtain the draw, according to the footage.
At one point, Payne threatens to take Wubbels to jail if he doesn’t get the sample, and he accuses her of interfering with a criminal case.
“I either go away with blood in vials or body in tow,” Payne says.
After Wubbels consults with several hospital officials and repeats the policy, Payne tells her she is under arrest and grabs her, pulling her arms behind her back and handcuffing her. The footage shows the detective dragging Wubbels out of the hospital and putting her inside a patrol car as she screams, “Help! Help! Somebody help me! Stop! Stop! I did nothing wrong!”

Cop should be in jail. If I was that nurse's husband I would want to kill that dude.

The hospital administration should have stepped up and defended her.

Trashy people have ruined the chances of people actually believing that this is true and intervening

A crash where one is seriously injured and another dead.
Most states have mandatory blood draws in those types of crashes.

OP should change title, as far as I can tell it wasn't illegal it was just against Hospital policy. Hospital policy doesn't Trump the law,so while it's dumb to arrest the nurse I could totally see obstruction of justice.

That cop is a piece of shite.

Goddamn that is one lucky nurse. She's about to get a huge payday.

We need to get these guys more military equipment so they enforce the law as they see fit, maga.
The blood draw results would have been thrown out anyway which doubles down on the stupid.

I hope that nurse sues the living shite out of the officer and the police department.
That is infuriating.
