Zac Hiller, who is Minnesota Vikings running back Dalvin Cook’s agent, dropped huge news that his client is the victim of domestic abuse and extortion.
There is pending litigation regarding the allegations.
Schefter later relayed from the agent that the “Military Sergeant maced Cook directly in his eyes immediately upon illegally entering.”
Mike Florio of Pro Football Talk added even more details to the story:
“Roughly a year ago, someone unlawfully entered Cook’s house. 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.
“Because she allegedly entered Cook’s house illegally, he had the right to defend himself, as authorized by Minnesota’s version of the Castle Doctrine. Litigation, per Hiller, has not yet been commenced, but it’s in the process of being initiated. No criminal complaints have been filed in connection with the incident.”
