Sag Harbor, New York – New video footage of pop star Justin Timberlake driving moments before his arrest for alleged drunk driving has surfaced. The video, captured by street-cam footage, shows Timberlake in a BMW SUV on Main Street in Sag Harbor, New York in the early hours of Tuesday morning. Timberlake, 43, failed to stop at a stop sign and was unable to stay on the correct side of the road before being pulled over by authorities.
According to police documents obtained by Fox News Digital, Timberlake exhibited signs of intoxication, including bloodshot and glossy eyes, a strong alcoholic odor on his breath, and difficulty with attention. The former NSYNC member also showed slowed speech, unsteadiness on his feet, and performed poorly on field sobriety tests. Timberlake claimed to have only consumed one martini and refused a breathalyzer test after being taken into custody.
His lawyer, Ed Burke, stated that he looks forward to vigorously defending Timberlake against these allegations and is awaiting full discovery from the District Attorney’s office. Timberlake was arraigned in Sag Harbor Village Justice Court and faces charges of driving while intoxicated, failure to keep right, and failure to stop at a stop sign. He is expected to appear virtually for his first court hearing in the matter on July 26.
In response to Timberlake’s arrest, fellow musician Billy Joel, who had his own incident in the Hamptons in 2003, commented, “Judge not lest ye be judged.” Meanwhile, Timberlake’s wife, actress Jessica Biel, was seen on the set of her TV series “The Better Sister” in Manhattan following her husband’s arrest.
Sag Harbor, a small village in the Hamptons with a population of under 3,000, is approximately 100 miles from Manhattan. Timberlake’s arrest has raised questions and concerns regarding his upcoming “The Forget Tomorrow World Tour” and the impact it may have. As the legal proceedings unfold, Timberlake’s fans and the public await further developments in this ongoing situation.
