If he didn't see it happen, he can't testify as an eyewitness at trial, can he? Of course, he might testify (I'm assuming that he would tell the truth; some cops don't) that he heard tires squeal, went to the parking lot, and then saw you.

Contest it. Demand a jury trial. Don't give them anything.
