During a court hearing, Judge William Roda expressed astonishment at the volume of illegal drugs seized, emphasizing the gravity of the allegations.

Cook appeared notably silent during the proceedings, and his family declined to comment publicly.
Fast forward to Saturday, law enforcement staged a targeted delivery at Cook’s Springfield office, where he was intercepted after an undercover officer contacted him by phone, and Cook left a meeting to retrieve the package. The subsequent arrest was based on probable cause that linked Cook directly to the delivery of illegal narcotics.
