Accident – Death – Obituary News : Justin Timberlake Arrested for DWI in Sag Harbor, Long Island
SAG HARBOR, N.Y. — Pop superstar Justin Timberlake found himself in hot water after being arrested on suspicion of intoxicated driving in the affluent Hamptons area of Long Island. The incident occurred in the early hours of Tuesday morning when Timberlake was pulled over by police.
According to reports, Timberlake claimed he had only consumed “one martini” before getting behind the wheel of a gray BMW. However, police stated that Timberlake exhibited signs of intoxication, including bloodshot and glassy eyes, a strong smell of alcohol on his breath, and poor performance on field sobriety tests.
Timberlake, a 43-year-old resident of Franklin, Tennessee, was subsequently arrested and charged with driving while intoxicated. He was arraigned and released without bail, with a court date set for July 26.
The arrest took place near Madison Street and Middle Line Highway in Sag Harbor, where Timberlake was initially stopped for driving through a stop sign and failing to stay on the right side of the road. Police officer Michael Arkinson noted in the criminal complaint that Timberlake displayed signs of impairment and was unable to complete sobriety tests successfully.
Despite Timberlake’s claims of only having one drink, he declined to undergo a chemical test for impairment, which could impact his driving privileges and serve as evidence of guilt in court.
Timberlake had reportedly dined at The American Hotel in the Hamptons community of Sag Harbor before the incident. The historic inn, which dates back to before 1776, boasts an extensive wine list and is a popular spot for locals and visitors alike.
Following his arrest, Timberlake is scheduled to continue his tour, with upcoming performances in Chicago and New York City. However, the incident has cast a shadow over the pop star, especially in light of recent controversies surrounding his past relationships.
Timberlake’s wife, actor Jessica Biel, has been supportive of him, but fans of Britney Spears have been critical of Timberlake following revelations in Spears’ memoir. Spears accused Timberlake of cheating on her and revealed personal details about their past relationship, including allegations of infidelity and an abortion.
Despite the backlash, Timberlake remains focused on his music career, with plans to continue his tour and entertain audiences around the country. The incident in Sag Harbor serves as a reminder of the consequences of driving under the influence, even for celebrities like Justin Timberlake..
