Utah Police Detective Jeff Payne, fired from the department last week, is seeking an appeal to get his job back.

Payne, who was also fired from his part-time position at an ambulance company, made headlines a few weeks ago when footage of him arresting a nurse at a Salt Lake City hospital after she refused to draw blood from an unconscious patient for him surfaced. Images and videos of the nurse, Alex Wubbels, being coerced into his car were shared across social media.
