The 25-year-old found himself in trouble with the law not once, but twice this week after a strange situation played out on Sunday night that only got stranger the following morning after he was hospitalized.
Cooke was the subject of a disturbance call at around 7:15 p.m. on Nov. 17 on Ferry Road, when he contacted the Stafford County Sheriff's Office about people who have been chasing him for two days straight.
A deputy responded to the area and found Cooke, who advised that "they" were watching and chasing him.
According to a spokesperson for the sheriff's office, the deputy, who was a Drug Recognition Expert, suspected that Cooke was under the influence, and he would admit that he had consumed both alcohol and a controlled substance earlier.
He was taken to the Rappahannock Regional Jail to sober. Then he doubled down on his troubles.
Shortly after midnight. on Nov. 18, Cooke called Stafford County dispatch from Stafford Hospital on Hospital Center Boulevard, demanding to speak with the deputy who apprehended him.
It is alleged that Cooke threatened to assault his own mother if someone didn’t buy him cigarettes, officials said.
Deputies, including First Sgt. Zotos and Deputy Suter, arrived at the hospital, where the suspect was shouting at staff. Still visibly intoxicated, he caused another disturbance on the premises, authorities said.
This time, the man was arrested for public intoxication and disorderly conduct on hospital grounds.
He was taken back to the Rappahannock Regional Jail on a $1,500 secured bond.
No further information about the suspect has been released at this time.
