The arrest warrant, addressed to any peace officer, stated: "You are ordered to arrest and bring before a judicial officer the above-named Defendant (Heather Elizabeth Cook) as soon as practical and without unnecessary delay ..."

Bishop Cook was described as a 58-year-old white female, 5'7" in height with blond hair and tipping the scales at 250 pounds.

Cook, who is currently on administrative leave from her post and the subject of a denominational disciplinary inquiry, initially left the scene of the accident, according to news reports and an account on the diocesan website, but returned approximately 20 minutes later, according to a statement from Maryland bishop Eugene Sutton.
The investigation into the accident is still ongoing, according to Baltimore Police spokesman Detective Howard Ruganzu.

A total of 1,391 presbytery members voted in favour and 1,153 against, resulting in a 54.6% to 45.4% split.

Edinburgh, Glasgow, Aberdeen and Stirling presbyteries all backed the proposals, while Falkirk, Kirkcaldy and Inverness were among those that voted against.

In West Lothian, 28 voted in favour of gay ministers and 29 against, while all 19 individual members of the Lewis Presbytery voted against the proposal.

Tillman said, "This is about the clergy and how they are processing the tragic events of last week. Heather Cook's future is not in the clergy's hands; it depends on the police report and state's attorney's office."

Cook, who has been placed on administrative leave, is "barred from performing any duties of a bishop or a priest," Tillman said.
