Nov 10, 2021 9:09 AM

Dalvin Cook allegedly assaulted, battered and falsely imprisoned former girlfriend Gracelyn Trimble, per a lawsuit she filed Tuesday in the Dakota County District Court (Minnesota).

Cook's attorney, David Valentini, responded to the filing with a statement, in which he states that Trimble broke into Cook's home on Nov. 19, 2020, and assaulted the running back along with two house guests.

Police were never called regarding the incident and no charges have been made.

"We recently received notification from Dalvin Cook's legal representative regarding a situation that occurred between Dalvin and a female acquaintance in November 2020 and led to an ongoing dispute between the parties," the Minnesota Vikings said in a statement.

"Upon learning of this, we immediately notified the NFL. We are in the process of gathering more information and will withhold further comment at this time."
