UPDATE (4:40 p.m.): Florida State did not need video evidence to make the suspension this time.
UPDATE (3:11 p.m.): Mark Schlabach of ESPN is reporting an arrest warrant will be issued:
The state attorney's office in Tallahassee will issue a warrant for the arrest of Florida State running back Dalvin Cook, who is accused of punching a 21-year-old woman in the face several times during an argument outside a bar last month.
State attorney Willie Meggs told ESPN.com on Friday that he met with the woman, who is not an FSU student, and a female witness on Friday. Cook's accuser presented Meggs photos of her injuries.
Meggs said Cook, a 19-year-old sophomore from Miami, will be charged with misdemeanor battery.
A week a video surfaced of star freshman QB De'Andre Johnson punching a woman in a Tallahassee bar (for which Johnson was dismissed), comes this.
From Safid Deen of Tallhassee.com:
Florida State running back Dalvin Cook is under investigation for the battery of a 21-year-old woman outside of a Tallahassee bar on June 23.
State Attorney Willie Meggs said Friday he has not brought any charges against Cook at this time, but the matter is still being reviewed.
In a heavily redacted police report obtained by the Tallahassee Democrat, the victim was listed as intoxicated and suffered minor abrasion/bruises from the incident, which occurred outside of Clyde’s & Costellos on South Adams Street.
Despite Karlos Williams hogging all the publicity in the preseason, Cook was far-and-away FSU's best RB during the university's playoff run, as short as it was.
And yes, he's still innocent until proven guilty, but this is NOT A GOOD LOOK for a program who just can't seem to stay out of the news for all the wrong reasons.
