Oklahoma Police Going After Morrison’s Opponent

A warrant has been issued for the arrest of Anthony Cooks, who is scheduled to fight Tommy Morrison, the HIV-infected heavyweight.

Police in Okmulgee, Okla., issued the warrant Tuesday for Cooks on a complaint he raped a 15-year-old girl Oct. 19. A Tulsa TV station reported that another arrest warrant had been issued Monday after Cooks failed to appear last week for a jury trial on a drug charge.

Cooks, who served 18 months in prison about 18 months ago for receiving stolen property, participated in a conference call on Tuesday, hours before the arrest warrants were made public.
