SAN ANTONIO - Spurs guard Tony Parker was cited for impeding traffic and failing to produce a valid Texas driver’s license during a traffic stop in which girlfriend and “Desperate Housewives” actress Eva Longoria was his passenger, police said.

An officer on a bicycle saw the stopped car holding up traffic early Saturday and rapped the hood with his hand, according to a police report. Parker, behind the wheel, questioned why the officer touched the car, and the couple “began screaming in a verbally abusive and demeaning manner,” police said. Longoria called the police report “highly inaccurate.”

Police say the Parker began to drive away, almost hitting a man standing nearby. After being told to stop and get out, Parker showed a French driver’s license, police said. The star guard for the defending NBA champions was was born in Belgium and raised in France.

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 denied making the comment.

“It’s a shame that one officer conducted himself in such an inappropriate and disorderly manner,” Longoria said through her publicist. “I never made any sort of racial slurs, let alone made any comments about the officer being Mexican, as a Mexican myself.”
