Buffalo Bills running back James Cook is reportedly under investigation following a report from a proprietor who claims the 25-year-old ran up a bill at his establishment and left without paying.
According to the BillsOutlet account on X, the star running back ordered drinks totaling up to $860 on September 22 but never paid what was due.
The photo below shows a police report in which James is named as a suspect, with Venu Nite Club owner David Robida as the complainant. It also shows that the NFL player bought a $600 bottle of Don Julio, a $200 bottle of Belaire, a bottle of Fiji water at $40, and a $20 energy drink.

Cook is an important cog in the Buffalo offense and has rushed for 309 yards so far this season, also playing a part in the receiving game with 128 yards.
The Bills will deploy Ray Davis and Ty Johnson if their next game comes too soon for their No. 1 running back option.
Davis has shown plenty of potential, but whether he’s formidable enough to go for a full game remains to be seen.
Of course, this new legal wrinkle is not great for the Bills, either. Then again, they may have the wrong James Cook.
