The Georgia Bureau of Investigation (GBI) has almost completed its internal investigation into the handling of an October incident in Aragon where a woman allegedly attempted to steal a police car, according to Aragon Police Chief Wayne Sanders.

Sanders said the GBI has all video evidence and should issue a report within the next week.

Meanwhile, Sgt. Matthew Rook, who was the officer involved in the case, has resigned.

Sanders said Rook resigned in order to move back to his hometown of Carrollton and go back to school. He said the officer’s decision had nothing to do with this incident.

Sanders confirmed that Rook had been demoted to sergeant a few months ago after it was determined he conducted inappropriate activity while on the job.

However, Sanders said that incident was in the past and not a concern of the department now.

“He was under no scrutiny from us,” Sanders said.

The GBI probe was a necessity because Rook fired shots at the car as Tina Cobb, 36, allegedly fled the scene, Sanders said.

“Anytime a weapon is fired, it had to be looked into,” he said.

The incident began when Rook made a routine traffic stop and began to question Cobb’s son, Alex Lamar Poole, 18, who was driving.

Cobb was handcuffed and put into a police car because she was reportedly belligerent during questioning of her son. Reports state she escaped and took off in the car, ending in a wreck on Portland Road and Jenna Drive where she was arrested.
