Justin Timberlake‘s recent trip to the Hamptons took a sharp turn early Tuesday morning when he was arrested for driving under the influence (DUI) in Sag Harbor, New York.

Details of Justin Timberlake DUI Arrest
When pulled over, Timberlake reportedly told the officer he had only consumed “one martini” before following his friends home. However, court documents paint a different picture. Police described Timberlake’s eyes as “bloodshot and glassy” with a “strong odor of an alcoholic beverage” emanating from him.
He also allegedly exhibited slurred speech, unsteady balance, and performed poorly on standardized field sobriety tests. Perhaps most concerning, Timberlake reportedly refused a chemical test three times, raising further questions about his level of intoxication.
Following these observations, Justin Timberlake was placed under arrest and held overnight for arraignment. His attorney, Ed Burke, confirmed Timberlake was released without bail and is scheduled for a virtual court appearance on July 26th. In addition to the DUI charge, Timberlake was also cited for the traffic violations.
