Police: Tony Parker and Eva Longoria were unruly
LAST UPDATE: 12/26/2005 9:02:29 AM
A police officer accuses "Desperate Housewives" actress Eva Longoria and her boyfriend, San Antonio Spurs guard Tony Parker, of yelling profanities and insulting him after he asked them to move their car.
The couple deny the allegations and Longoria called the police report "highly inaccurate."
"I believe the couple will be pressing charges in conjunction with this incident. They are intent on setting the record straight. Both Tony and Eva are law-abiding and respectful citizens of the community," said Longoria's publicist, Liza Anderson.
The incident happened about 12:45 a.m. Saturday. After seeing a car stopped, a bicycle officer indicated that it was impeding traffic. When the car didn't move, the officer rapped the hood with the palm of his hand, according to a police report.
Parker, who was behind the wheel, questioned why the officer touched the car, and the couple "began screaming in a verbally abusive and demeaning manner," police said.
Police say Parker began to drive away, almost hitting a man standing nearby. After being told to stop and get out of the car, Parker showed police a French driver's license, although records showed he has a Texas driver's license, police said.
Parker was cited for impeding traffic and failing to produce a valid Texas driver's license.
The officer who wrote the citations said Parker complained: "This is all the cops do, just mess with people," and that Longoria shouted from the car: "He's just a Mexican bike cop. He only wants your autograph."
Longoria, a native of Corpus Christi, denied making the comment.
"It's a shame that one officer conducted himself in such an inappropriate and disorderly manner. I never made any sort of racial slurs, let alone made any comments about the officer being Mexican, as a Mexican myself," Longoria said through her publicist.
