Unbelievable.
Saw this on the news tonight.
Unbelievable.
Same here. If I was her I'd be suing that arrogant piece of crap detective for assault. But just one question. Where were the rest of the ER staff when this happened. Maybe if one of the senior ER doctors had stood up for her and explained the hospital policy the outcome of this whole sordid affair might have ended differently for her?

From my understanding, when she's on the phone, that's her supervisor explaining the situation to that meathead cop ("you're making a huge mistake right now").
My question is why did the other cops not try to rein this guy in? They acted like this was normal.
Unbelievable.
I would expect most folks in the same situation would take the opportunity to call it a day and go home.
The law governing this professional's field of expertise changes and none of them know about it! That makes perfect sense!!
Salt Lake County District Attorney Sim Gill announced Friday that he wants a criminal investigation into the July 26 arrest of University of Utah Hospital nurse Alex Wubbels. The arrest was captured on multiple police body cameras.

"In fairness to all those involved I have requested a criminal investigation into the incident so that the District Attorney's office could screen the matter after gathering all the facts," Gill stated. "Our office had not received any materials on the matter thus far and in the interest of justice and given the prima facie evidence a criminal investigation is warranted."
Salt Lake City Mayor Jackie Biskupski said as a result of the criminal investigation, the arresting officer, detective Jeff Payne, will be placed on full administrative leave with pay.
Mayor Jackie Biskupski called Payne�s actions �completely unacceptable to the values of my administration and of the values of the Salt Lake City Police Department,� in a statement Friday, the Tribune reported.
�I extend a personal apology to Ms. Wubbels for what she has been through for simply doing her job,� Biskupski added.
An Internal Affairs investigation that will examine the actions of the arrest, will work with the Civilian Review Board in a parallel investigation, according to the Salt Lake City Tribune.

He could have been a senior officer and if that's the case shame on them for not doing the right thing.
