PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Allen Iverson owes more than $1,700 in parking fines.

The Philadelphia 76ers star received four tickets -- each more than $300 -- when he left his Rolls-Royce in a handicapped spot at an airport parking garage for a week in late May, Clorise E. Wynn, director of the city's Bureau of Administrative Adjudication, told The Associated Press on Thursday.

Since March 2001, Iverson has received at least 65 parking tickets for $4,500 on his cars, the Philadelphia Daily News reported Thursday. He already paid $2,800.

Iverson is in Athens to play in the Olympics. His personal lawyer, Larry Woodward, declined comment.

Also, the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation is investigating whether the star's uncle, Greg Iverson, was properly given a handicapped placard. His cars have been seen in handicapped spots at the Philadelphia International Airport, outside the 76ers' practice facility and a downtown apartment building garage.

Joan Nissley, a PennDOT spokeswoman, said the agency's medical unit was looking into the placard. Greg Iverson, 41, defended parking in handicapped spots, noting he had the placard. He did not answer when asked about his handicap by a Daily News reporter.
