CHATTANOOGA — A Hamilton County deputy says a local server slipped a bag of cocaine into his meal in 2017, which could have cost his job.

Ricky E. Wolfe is asking for $150,000 from Debo's Diners, Inc., a corporation that operates a chain of Steak n' Shake restaurants in Eastern Tennessee, according to a lawsuit filed Monday in Hamilton County Circuit Court.

Wolfe said he went to a Steak n' Shake on Hixson Pike while off-duty on May 25, 2017. Wolfe gave his order to a waitress, who brought him a drink while he waited on his food.
