US police officer suspended after dragging nurse from hospital following dispute over blood test

A Utah police officer has been put on paid leave after he handcuffed a nurse and dragged her screaming from a hospital when she refused to allow blood to be taken from an unconscious patient.

After Alex Wubbels and her lawyers released dramatic video of the arrest, prosecutors called for a criminal investigation and Salt Lake City police put Detective Jeff Payne on paid leave on Friday.
