OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — The city of Omaha will pay a $350,000 medical bill because police arrested a man while he was at a hospital for treatment of a gunshot wound.

City council members say they’re unhappy about approving a payment Tuesday to Alegent Creighton Health for the treatment of Brian Hanzlik-Stuart.

Hanzlik-Stuart was shot in October and taken to Creighton University Medical Center. Police learned he had two outstanding warrants.

A deputy city attorney said police initially didn’t know what role Hanzlik-Stuart played in the shooting, so they arrested him on the warrants.

He remained hospitalized through early December at a cost of around $700,000. Because he was in police custody and had no means to pay the bill, the city was charged half of the bill.
