Republican member of the
Arizona House of Representatives,
representing District 8. He assumed office
on January 9, 2017. His current term ends on
January 9, 2023. On December 19, 2018, Cook
was arrested for driving under the influence
(DUI) by an Arizona Department of Public
Safety trooper in Mesa, Arizona after the
officer spotted Cook's vehicle moving out of
its lane. When asked to step out of the
vehicle, Cook responded with
“Do you know
what you’re doing, son? You’re making a
mistake.” Cook was arrested with a blood

0.158 percent, well above the state limit of
0.08 percent.
When the officer informed
Cook that he would lose his driver's
license, he responded with "I’m fine; don’t
worry, you’ll get yours". |
