The senior enlisted airman at Offutt Air Force Base's 55th Wing was removed from his position earlier this week, base officials acknowledged Friday.

Chief Master Sgt. William Thomaston Jr. was relieved Monday after the wing commander, Col. Greg Guillot, "determined that (Thomaston) couldn't effectively perform his duties," said Delanie Stafford, a 55th Wing spokesman.

Snip: In documents filed Dec. 31 in Sarpy County District Court, Thomaston's wife, Robin, filed for a protection order against him. She accused him hitting her in the chin during an argument nine days earlier, and of verbal abuse against her and their two children.

The protection order was granted Jan. 3, court records said. But it was dissolved Friday morning at Robin Thomaston's request because, she said, the couple had decided to receive counseling and attempt to reconcile.
