Dalvin Cook’s Agent Claims Vikings Running Back Is Victim of Domestic Abuse

Adam Schefter took to Twitter on Tuesday night to announce “pending litigation” surrounding Minnesota Vikings running back Dalvin Cook.

“Minnesota Vikings’ RB Dalvin Cook is the victim of domestic abuse and extortion – there’s pending litigation, according to his agent Zac Hiller,” Schefter wrote.

In another tweet, Schefter added, “An incident occurred over one year ago, when a female US Military Sergeant used a stolen garage door opener to enter Cook’s home and attack a guest of Cook’s and Cook, per Hiller. “Military Sergeant maced Cook directly in his eyes immediately upon illegally entering.”

NFL insider Mike Florio of Pro Football Talk spoke to Cook’s agent, Zac Hiller, providing further clarification regarding the alleged incident: “Roughly a year ago, someone unlawfully entered Cook’s house,” Florio’s report read. “The female who did it, is a sergeant in the U.S. military, attacked Cook in his home while he had a guest present. The invader then allegedly tried to extort Cook for millions of dollars, claiming that she suffered injuries during the course of the attack that she allegedly initiated.”

Florio added that a criminal complaint in regards to the incident has yet to be filed. Cook, who is 26, was selected in the draft back in 2017.
