Following the release of new footage of the incident, we've gotten a closer look at how the situation was handled, and how team doctors approached the woman. Avalanche team physician Brad Changstrom can be seen conversing with a police officer, where he tells him the following.
"We were trying to get her out of the room and she was very clearly intoxicated. Very clearly, I could not send her in an Uber due to her safety." - Changstrom
According to the footage, the woman was so incredibly intoxicated that she assaulted police officers who attempted to get her clothing. The woman, who claimed to be a student at the University of Arizona, reportedly attempted to jump off of a hotel gurney during the incident.
Avalanche team staff had Nichushkin removed from the site immediately.
We'll have more information as soon as it's available, so stay tuned.
