Vikings Chris Cook Arrested

Minnesota Vikings rookie defensive back Chris Cook was arrested at his home in Virgina after an altercation with his neighbor.  Cook admits that words were exchanged but he denies pulling a gun.

WSET-TV in Lynchburg, Va., reported on Sunday that Cook was arrested for brandishing a handgun during a fight with the man. Cook confirmed the arrest, but he said the confrontation didn't turn physical and that he did not brandish a gun. Cook said he does not know whether he will be charged in the case.

"I wasn't in any fight or nothing," he said. "It was just an argument."

According to his version of events, Cook said he was riding his bike near his home when a man who lives two houses down started screaming at him.

"You're not going to scream at me like I'm your child so I screamed back at him," Cook said. "He thought that I called the police on his brother for some reason. Why would I do that?"

Cook said he just received his license to carry a concealed weapon, but he denied pulling a gun on the man during their confrontation.

"He went downtown and told [the police] I pointed the gun at him," Cook said.
