Nurse Alex Wubbels and her lawyer, Karra Porter, announced the move nearly two months after they released police body-camera video showing Detective Jeff Payne handcuffing Wubbels. SALT LAKE CITY—A Utah nurse who was arrested for refusing to let a police officer draw blood from an unconscious patient said Tuesday that she was settling with Salt Lake City and the university that runs the hospital for $500,000. A spokesperson for Salt Lake City didn’t immediately return messages seeking comment. Salt Lake City Police Chief Mike Brown has since apologized and fired Payne after an internal investigation found he violated department policies. Lt. James Tracy, a police supervisor who ordered the arrest of the nurse, was demoted to officer and also is appealing.
