Sag Harbor, New York – Justin Timberlake, the popular singer and actor, faced an arraignment after being charged with driving while intoxicated in Sag Harbor, New York. The incident occurred in the early hours of Tuesday morning when Timberlake was allegedly seen driving his 2025 BMW erratically by the Sag Harbor Police. He failed to stop at a stop sign and maintain his lane of travel, prompting an officer to initiate a traffic stop.
During the stop, Timberlake admitted to having consumed one martini and claimed to be following his friends home. However, police noted that his eyes were bloodshot and glassy, and there was a strong smell of alcohol on his breath. Timberlake also reportedly displayed signs of impaired coordination and performed poorly on field sobriety tests conducted by the officer.
Despite being offered a chemical test three times, Timberlake refused each time, stating that he would not comply. As a result, he was placed under arrest and held overnight before being released without bail. A court date has been set for July 26 to address the charges of driving while intoxicated, running a stop sign, and failing to stay in his lane.
Sag Harbor, located in the Hamptons on Long Island, was the setting for Timberlake’s arrest shortly after he left the American Hotel in the area. Currently touring with his latest album, “Everything I Thought It Was,” Timberlake is scheduled to perform in Chicago at the United Center in the coming days.
In a recent social media post, Timberlake expressed his gratitude for his two sons and outlined his plans for Father’s Day. Married to producer and actor Jessica Biel, Timberlake shared a heartfelt message to his children, emphasizing his commitment to being there for them through life’s ups and downs.
At 43 years old, Timberlake continues to balance his career in music and acting with his role as a father to Silas, 9, and Phineas, 3. Stay tuned for updates on Timberlake’s legal proceedings and upcoming performances as he navigates this challenging time in the public eye.
