Part 5/6:
The Healey administration swiftly responded to the incident. Cook was immediately terminated from his position, reflecting zero tolerance for misconduct. The governor’s office highlighted that all employees undergo rigorous background checks, and this breach was considered "completely unacceptable."
Cook is currently detained and scheduled to appear again in court Friday. Bail has been set at $25,000, and he remains in custody until then. Prosecutors are likely to pursue felony charges related to drug trafficking and associated illegal activities, which could carry sentences exceeding ten years if convicted.
