Barre, Vt. — A Windsor police officer who was moved to restricted duty earlier this month after his wife — a fellow law enforcement officer — obtained a temporary restraining order against him has since returned to regular duty, the chief said on Wednesday.

Sgt. Jonathan Adams had to surrender his duty weapon in mid-August after his wife, Kristinnah Adams, a Hartford police officer, obtained a temporary relief from abuse order alleging he placed her in “fear of imminent serious physical harm” and stalked her.

A temporary order is often granted to cover the period before a hearing can be held on a regular restraining order.

The Adamses and their attorneys appeared in a Washington County courthouse on Tuesday for that hearing, which ended when the Adamses agreed that the relief from abuse was “dismissed without prejudice pursuant to stipulation of parties in this case,” according to court documents.

No other information about why the case was dismissed was provided in court documents.

Messages left for their attorneys weren’t returned.

Reached by telephone on Wednesday, Kristinnah Adams declined to comment on the situation, other than to say she “feels like (the case) being out in the press plays a big factor with women who are victims.”

She declined to elaborate.

Also in a telephone interview on Wednesday, Jonathan Adams said the reason the restraining order was dismissed was that his wife chose not to testify to any of the allegations that were outlined in the affidavit she filed in support of her petition for the restraining order.

In that affidavit, Kristinnah Adams accused her husband of misusing the police database “to track my location and to stalk me,” among several other allegations that she made as reasons why she feared for her safety.

Jonathan Adams on Wednesday said that allegation, along with the others in the affidavit, were “not true.”

Separate court documents indicate the Adamses are in the middle of a divorce. A court clerk in Washington County said on Wednesday that an update on that case wasn’t available because the file was in the mail. (The case is being transferred from Windsor County to Washington County.)

Windsor Police Chief Bill Sampson verified on Wednesday that Adams is back on regular duty. Messages left for him at his office weren’t returned.
