MINEAPOLIS — Minnesota Vikings cornerback Chris Cook says he did not pull a gun on a neighbor during an argument that led to his arrest.

Cook says that he was riding his bike near his Lynchburg, Va. home Saturday when a neighbor began yelling at him. He says the neighbor wrongly believed Cook had called police about the neighbor’s brother.

Cook said he had recently received a license to carry a concealed weapon, but denied pulling a gun on the man.

The team is not allowed to have contact with Cook because of the NFL lockout.
