OMAHA, Neb. (KMTV) — Earlier this year, Omaha Firefighters Union President Steve LeClair was fired from his position as an Omaha firefighter after an investigation into his assault of a woman at an Omaha bar.
In security video the city released, viewers can see LeClair speaking to a woman at the bar and eventually striking her in the back. The woman later said LeClair said 'white power'.
On Nov. 12, an arbitrator ruled he was fired unfairly and the city should reinstate him.
Monday, the City of Omaha announced they filed a petition to vacate the arbitrator's decision.

Mayor Jean Stothert issued the following statement regarding the petition:
