Cook a game-time decision by local deputy

Minnesota Vikings CB Chris Cook is up to his old hijinx again. And when we say “hijinx,” we mean “getting arrested.”

Back in March, Cook was arrested and then acquitted of charges of brandishing a firearm during a fight. This time? Cook was arrested on two charges of domestic assault and “intentional attempts to inflict bodily harm on another.”

Great job, Chris. He’s being held without bail and his first court appearance is Monday morning at 8:15 AM. For those of you who don’t have a calculator handy, that means that he’ll be in jail when the Vikings play the Packers on Sunday…unless the local sheriff or deputy or whoever decides to let him out. Wouldn’t count on it.

“The Minnesota Vikings are aware of the incident involving Chris Cook,” the Vikings said in a statement. “We take this matter very seriously and are still gathering all the details of the incident. We will not have any further comment at this time.”

We’re sure that the Vikings are aware of the incident, because they’ll have to find someone else besides the 2010 second-round pick to start opposite Antoine Winfield.
