NAPERVILLE, ILL. ? Kendra Davis, the wife of New York Knicks forward Antonio Davis, was charged with misdemeanor battery Thursday for allegedly throwing a cup of coffee at a woman during a traffic dispute last fall, police said. Last month, Kendra Davis had an oral confrontation with a fan at a Knicks-Bulls game in Chicago, prompting her husband to climb into the stands to check on her. He was ejected and received a five-game suspension from the NBA.

An arrest warrant was issued Thursday for Kendra Davis, 31, of Naperville, on misdemeanor charges of battery and driving on a suspended license, Sgt. Joel Truemper said.

Kathleen Bessner, 40, claimed Kendra Davis ran a stop sign on Oct. 27, 2005, according to police. Bessner told police that when she confronted Davis at an intersection, Davis threw a cup of coffee through the driver’s side window.
