Eva Longoria and Tony Parker Involved in Traffic Incident  12/27/05

Eva Longoria's basketball star boyfriend Tony Parker was cited for impeding traffic and failing to produce a valid driving license in an incident which also allegedly saw the Desperate Housewives actress verbally abuse a police officer.

According to the Texas traffic cop concerned, at circa 12:45am on Saturday (24DEC05) he spotted a car that was impeding traffic, which he tapped on the bonnet when it didn't move on.

The officer says Parker then asked why he touched the car before Longoria and the San Antonio Spurs player were said to have started "screaming in a verbally abusive and demeaning manner".

Parker then reportedly started driving away and nearly struck a man nearby.

He was asked to exit the car, and produced a French driver's license before cops say he commented, "This is all the cops do, just mess with people."

The officer involved says Longoria then shouted, "He's just a Mexican bike cop. He only wants your autograph."

In a statement, Longoria describes the police report as "highly inaccurate" and says, "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."
