Vikings' Cook Arrested

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) - Minnesota Vikings cornerback Chris Cook was arrested after an arguing with a neighbor in Lynchburg, Va., but Cook denies a report that he pulled out a gun during the dispute.

Cook tells the Star Tribune that he was riding his bike near his home when a neighbor began yelling at him Saturday. He says the neighbor wrongly believed Cook had called police about the neighbor's brother.

Cook said he had recently received a license to carry a concealed weapon, but denied pulling a gun on the man as WSET-TV reported. He says was taken to the police station, but did not spend any time in jail.

Lynchburg Police Capt. Ryan Zuidema tells The Associated Press that Cook is accused of brandishing a firearm. The team is not allowed to have contact with Cook because of the NFL lockout.
