Justin Timberlake Arrested for DUI in Sag Harbor: Details of the Incident
SAG HARBOR, N.Y. (AP) — Early Tuesday, pop star Justin Timberlake was charged with drunken driving in the Hamptons' village of Sag Harbor. Police reported that Timberlake ran a stop sign and veered out of his lane while driving a 2025 BMW at around 12:30 a.m.
According to court documents, Timberlake displayed signs of intoxication, including bloodshot eyes, glassy eyes, and a strong smell of alcohol. He was unsteady, had slowed speech, and performed poorly on field sobriety tests. Timberlake admitted to having one martini and claimed he was following friends home.
After his arrest, Timberlake was taken to a police station in East Hampton, where he refused a breath test. The court papers described him as a "self-employed professional." He was released without bond later that morning after being arraigned in Sag Harbor. He faces a misdemeanor charge for driving while intoxicated and is scheduled to appear in court on July 26, according to the Suffolk County district attorney's office.
Timberlake’s lawyer, Edward Burke Jr., confirmed that the star does not need to appear in person for his next court date. Timberlake's representatives did not respond to requests for comment.
The arrest drew a crowd to Sag Harbor's Main Street, with onlookers taking photos near the municipal building. Even Billy Joel, a local resident, was seen nearby, but he declined to comment on the incident.
Justin Timberlake, 43, began his career as a Disney Mouseketeer and rose to fame with NSYNC before embarking on a successful solo career. He is known for hits like "Cry Me A River," "SexyBack," and "Can’t Stop The Feeling!" He has also acted in acclaimed films and won four Primetime Emmy Awards.
Timberlake's arrest comes shortly after Britney Spears released her memoir, which included details about their past relationship. Timberlake recently released a new album, "Everything I Thought It Was," and has upcoming shows in Chicago and New York.
Sag Harbor, historically a whaling village mentioned in "Moby-Dick," is located in the Hamptons, about 100 miles east of New York City. Known for its rich history and prominent residents, the village has seen an influx of celebrities and high-end developments in recent years.
