The police officer who illegally handcuffed and arrested a screaming nurse after she refused to take blood from an unconscious patient now wants to apologize to her personally, according to his attorney.

A shocking video that surfaced in August shows Utah nurse Alex Wubbels explaining to police officer Jeff Payne hospital policy stating that drawing a blood sample is not allowed without a warrant. Payne didn’t have a warrant, but lost his patience and arrested the nurse.
