*Another Florida State University football player is under investigation for punching a woman at a bar.

One day before police charged Florida State quarterback De’Andre Johnson with misdemeanor battery for punching a woman at a Tallahassee nightclub, a battery took place against a 21-year-old woman outside of Tallahassee bar Clyde’s & Costellos on South Adams Street. Police say FSU running back Dalvin Cook is under investigation for the June 23 incident, according to Safid Deen and Karl Etters of the Tallahassee Democrat.

State Attorney Willie Meggs said Friday he has not brought any charges against Cook at this time, but the matter is still being reviewed.

In a heavily redacted police report obtained by the Tallahassee Democrat, the victim was listed as intoxicated and suffered minor abrasion/bruises from the incident.

ESPN.com’s Mark Schlabach provided more detail on the incident and reported a warrant for arrest will be issued:

The woman who said Cook punched her told ESPN.com that her bottom lip was split and her nose was sore the next day. The woman said she identified Cook as the man who struck her in a photo lineup with two TPD investigators on July 1. She told police she wanted to pursue criminal charges against him.

The woman, who lives in Tallahassee, told ESPN.com that she was approached by a man who was not Cook outside of Clyde’s and Costello’s shortly after the bar closed on June 23. The woman said the man asked for her phone number, which she refused to give him.

“I told him I had a boyfriend and wasn’t interested,” said the woman, who spoke to ESPN.com on the condition she not be identified. The woman said the argument became heated, and then Cook punched her in the face several times. Her friend ran to a nearby Tallahassee police car, which wasn’t occupied, so the woman called 911.
