Personal life
Cook was arrested by Athens police in December 2019 for driving with an open alcohol container and driving without a valid license.{{Cite news |last=Towers |first=Chip |date=December 14, 2019 |title=Georgia running back James Cook arrested in Athens |language=English |work=The Atlanta Journal-Constitution |url=https://www.ajc.com/sports/college/georgia-james-cook-arrested-athens/VtMkJxnEhr2555Wf9yb7sM/ |access-date=November 22, 2023 |issn=1539-7459}}
In July 2020, Cook crashed into five unoccupied parked cars near downtown Athens. Moments before, according to police, Cook was traveling up to 85 mph, nearly striking an oncoming vehicle. Athens-Clark County deputy solicitor Janna Landreth offered to drop additional charges in the case if Cook pleaded guilty to reckless driving, for which Cook would have to pay a $670 fine, supply financial restitution to at-most two of the five damaged vehicles, and complete a defensive-driving course. Cook subsequently failed to appear in court relating to this case, for which Georgia Bulldogs football Director of Player Support Bryant Gantt claimed responsibility. Cook was not penalized for the missed date.{{Cite web |last=Judd |first=Alan |last2=Jackson |first2=Dylan |last3=Peebles |first3=Jennifer |last4=Minshew |first4=Charles |date=June 9, 2023 |title=‘Out of control’: Reckless culture off the field marks UGA football team |url=https://www.ajc.com/news/investigations/uga-speeding/ |access-date=November 22, 2023 |website=The Atlanta Journal-Constitution |language=English}}
