Cop who threatened to 'take good patients elsewhere' before arresting Utah nurse gets fired from his paramedic job

Salt Lake City police Detective Jeff Payne has been fired from his part-time paramedic job as the fallout continues from his arrest of a University Hospital nurse in July. Payne’s actions "violated several company policies and left a poor image of the company,” Gold Cross President Mike Moffitt said in a Tuesday interview. Payne arrested nurse Alex Wubbels on July 26 when she refused to allow Payne to draw a patient’s blood.
