Justin Timberlake was charged early Tuesday (EDT) with driving while intoxicated in a village in New York’s Hamptons, after police said he ran a stop sign and veered out of his lane in the posh seaside summer retreat.
He was driving a 2025 BMW in Sag Harbor around 12:30am when an officer stopped him and determined he was intoxicated, according to a court document.
“His eyes were bloodshot and glassy, a strong odour of an alcoholic beverage was emanating from his breath, he was unable to divide attention, he had slowed speech, he was unsteady afoot and he performed poorly on all standardised field sobriety tests,” the court papers said.
Justin was released without bond later Tuesday morning after being arraigned in Sag Harbor. He was charged with a DWI misdemeanour, and his next court date was scheduled for July 26, the Suffolk County district attorney’s office said.
It’s understood he had been out for dinner with friends at the American Hotel and was pulled over by a young officer who a source claims “didn’t even know who the pop star was”.
They continued to say, “He didn’t recognise him or his name.”
A source continued to tell Daily Mail, “Justin was out to dinner with friends, and there were cop cars stationed outside the restaurant like there are most nights.”
The source claimed the singer left the restaurant shortly after midnight and “was pulled over as soon as he left”. They added, “Nobody was hurt and there was no drama at the scene.”
Timberlake allegedly refused to participate in a breathalyser test when he was pulled over, TMZ reported.
