Florida State’s star running back Dalvin Cook’s trial for misdemeanor battery started Monday.

Cook is accused of punching a woman multiple times in the face at a bar this past July. Cook was immediately suspended indefinitely from the team, but he has denied the accusation, maintaining that he never punched the woman.

Oddly, the state rolled out its argument against Cook first thing Monday morning, and Auburn was included. Tom D’Angelo, FSU’s beat writer for the Palm Beach Post, is at the trial. According to the state, things escalated after the woman told Cook that her then boyfriend played for the Tigers.

Also, SBNation’s FSU site, TomahawkNation.com, had the full opening argument against Cook for perspective.

9:40 — The state, in its opening statement, claims that Da’Vante Phillips was flirting with the accuser, but it went poorly and became heated and and Dalvin Cook came over to at first attempt to calm the situation. An argument ensued after she told them that her boyfriend played for Auburn and Cook and some players told her that they could “buy her with their contracts in two years.” The state claims that the accuser said “everyone is on google” in response to the players saying “google us,” and Cook then punched her in the mouth, busting her lip. The state says that Cook had to be held back and repeatedly tried to hit the accuser again, may have struck her. … The state said that the 911 call was made in a fluster and shock, explaining why the accuser could not give the operator a clear version of events, but will in court Monday. … The state says that none of the photos shown by the police initially were recognized as Cook, but after seeing Cook out again at a night club several days later, Cook smirked at her and she then found Cook through the friend section on Travis Rudolph’s Facebook page.

Cook is one of college football’s best returning players, but he’s currently not with the team until the legal process plays itself out.
