SALT LAKE CITY — The Utah nurse arrested after refusing to let a cop take blood from an unconscious crash victim wants to work on forging better ties between police and health care workers. <br /> <br />The incident occurred on July 26 and was recorded on the officer's bodycam. In the footage, Alex Wubbels refused to let cops draw blood from a crash victim in a coma at the University of Utah Hospital burn unit, according to CNN. <br /> <br />Though the man was not a suspect in the crash, police wanted a sample of his blood. <br /> <br />Wubbels showed the police a printout of the hospital's policy on drawing blood, saying their request didn't meet the criteria. <br /> <br />The policy said that before taking a blood sample, police needed either a judge's order or the patient's consent, or the patient had to be under arrest. <br /> <br />The video then shows Wubbels being forcefully arrested for standing her ground. <br /> <br />After sitting in the back of a squad car for 20 minutes she was released without being charged. Two cops have been placed on administrative leave pending an investigation. <br /> <br />Online outrage prompted the Salt Lake City mayor and police to issue apologies to Wubbels.
