A waitress at a restaurant in Chattanooga, Tennessee has been charged after she dropped a small bag of cocaine into a glass of water belonging to a Hamilton County Sheriff's deputy.
Jekievea Monchell Yearby with assault, possession of a controlled substance, and possession of drug paraphernalia in the incident that occurred on May 25 around 11 p.m. at the Steak & Shake at 5118 Hixson Pike, according to WTVC.
When police arrived to the restaurant, Deputy Rick Wolfe, who was off duty at the time, told investigators that he discovered a small baggie of cocaine in his water.
Officer reviewed surveillance footage of the incident and owner Matt Richman says the water was already in front of the deputy when the cocaine accidentally fell in.
An affidavit says Yearby admitted to officers the cocaine was hers, and that the baggie must have mistakenly fell out of her waitress book while she was taking the order.
Officers took the woman into custody, and were told that she had another baggie of cocaine in her bra.
Yearby is due in court June 15.
