A lawsuit brought by former Chattanooga Police Chief Bobby Dodd against the city of Chattanooga and the Chattanooga Fire and Police Pension Fund over his pension has been moved to Federal Court.
The lawsuit was earlier filed in Chancery Court by attorneys Jerry Tidwell and Adam Izell.
The suit says former Chief Dodd opted for a plan that would have half of his pension go to his surviving spouse should he die first.
It says at the time there was no charge for selecting that option, But later, unbeknownst to him, a five-percent charge was added.
