On Tuesday, at approximately 12:50 p.m., the Fulton County Sheriff’s Office executed a search warrant in the 300 block of North Monroe Street in Fulton. Deputies established probable cause to believe Zachariah D. Cook, 33, of Rochester, was on the property. Cook had several outstanding arrest warrants through Fulton County including Level 1 and Level 4 child molesting and various misdemeanor offenses.

Cook was transported to Woodlawn Hospital for treatment of minor injuries and later booked at the Fulton County Jail for his active warrants.
Cook was also preliminary charged with resisting law enforcement, battery on a law Enforcement officer, battery on a law enforcement animal and possession of marijuana.
A woman residing in the residence, identified as Nicole L. Boardman, 30, of Fulton, was also arrested during the incident. She was booked in the Fulton County Jail on preliminary charges of obstructing justice and assisting a criminal, both Level 6 felonies.
“It is very encouraging to see our brave law enforcement agencies working together to bring Mr. Cook to justice,” Fulton County Sheriff Travis Heishman said. “This is a fine example of old fashion, proactive police work.”
Assisting the Fulton County Sheriff’s Office were the Rochester Police Department, Marshall County Sheriff’s Office and Parkview EMS.
