He told her that the allegations are false and he believes they came from a dissatisfied customer.

The warrant, obtained by Channel 2 Action News, details her claims and also says he admitted to recording her without her consent. But that’s another claim that he denies.

“Whatever she said, anybody can say anything,” Cook said. “I left out the room like I always do.”

Cook was arrested after the allegations were made and posted bail shortly after.
