In a rather shocking and unfortunate development on Tuesday, Minnesota Vikings running back Dalvin Cook's agent claimed Cook is a victim of domestic abuse and extortion.

Per Adam Schefter of ESPN, Cook's agent Zac Hiller confirmed the story and noted that there's pending litigation with regards to the issue.

Meanwhile, Pro Football Talk added more details to the story, reaching out to the agent of the Vikings RB to elaborate on the report.

According to Hiller, a female–who is a sergeant in the US military–unlawfully entered Cook's home and attacked him. Cook reportedly defended himself, which the alleged attacker used to extort money from the Vikings star. The said invader claimed that she sustained several injuries during the attack.

Cook defended himself, as authorized by Minnesota’s version of the Castle Doctrine. 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 broke into Cook’s house, however, he had the right to defend himself. 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.

This is a developing story and more details are expected to come out regarding the issue involving the Vikings star.
