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

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.
