State Sen. Kevin Parker had a Cinderella moment after allegedly scuffling with a Post photographer when a police captain found the politician’s shoe inside the lensman’s damaged car — and ordered the arrest of the one-shoed senator, the captain testified yesterday.
Parker allegedly attacked William Lopez in May 2009 — injuring Lopez’s finger and breaking a camera — after Lopez snapped shots of the pol outside his Flatbush home.
But Parker was apparently accorded special privileges by police.
Before the flap, Parker called the precinct commander demanding Lopez be moved from a legal parking spot across from the senator’s house. Sgt. Mark Smith was sent to roust the fotog.
Lopez moved the car, but Parker allegedly flipped out when he snapped pictures to accompany an article about the senator’s house being foreclosed.
Officer Yanique Jean testified that she was ordered to arrest Parker, but didn’t handcuff him. “Is this unusual?” asked prosecutor Kathleen DiGiovanni.
“Yes,” Jean replied.
“Was it based on direction from your supervisors?”
“Yes, ma’am,” Jean answered.
At the direction of the desk officer, she brought Parker to the juvenile room — still uncuffed — instead of a holding cell.
Parker balked at providing some data, she testified.
“I said, ‘I’m sorry, sir, I have to ask you,’ ” she said.
Parker replied, “I’m the one who should be sorry. I’m the one who acted the way I did.”
Parker will testify today.
