The Suffolk County District Attorney’s office released a statement early Tuesday stating: “On June 18, 2024, Justin Timberlake was arrested in Sag Harbor for Driving While Intoxicated.

“He will be arraigned in Sag Harbor Village Justice Court this morning. At this time, we have no further comment.”

Pop Crave posted the mugshot to their X account and fans couldn’t help but be brutal in the comments section.

A MailOnline insider reported: “Justin was out to dinner with friends and there were cop cars stationed outside the restaurant, like there are most nights. They look for people who are leaving after midnight who might have been drinking.”

According to TMZ, Justin was spotted at the American Hotel with friends and allegedly ran a stop sign upon leaving.

It’s reported that his driving was erratic, which led to him being pulled over.

Law enforcement reportedly conducted a field sobriety test and requested Justin to take a breathalyzer test, which he declined.

Sources claim that Justin’s friends arrived at the scene and attempted to persuade the officers to be lenient with the Sexyback singer, but their efforts were in vain as he was arrested.

Allegedly, the entire incident was captured on body-cam footage.

The singer told his arresting officer that he’d only had one drink just before he was arrested on DWI charges, according to an arrest report.

“I had one martini and I followed my friends home,” the singer told authorities, according to his arrest report, which was obtained by People.

The report also said that while on routine patrol, an officer saw Timberlake’s 2025 BMW drive through a stop sign, and “fail to keep on the right side of the roadway.”

The officer noted that Timberlake’s “eyes were bloodshot and glassy, a strong odor 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 standardized field sobriety tests.”

The Grammy winner was arrested at 12:37 a.m. and taken to Sag Harbor Police Headquarters to be processed.

There, the alcohol influence report was read aloud to Timberlake, and he responded: “No, I’m not doing a chemical test,” according to the report.

Authorities allegedly read the report to him a second and third time, and he responded: “I refuse” both times.

Timberlake is currently on his Forget Tomorrow World Tour, with his most recent performance taking place at the Kaseya Center in Miami, Florida on June 15.

He’s set to perform two shows in Chicago later this week before heading to Madison Square Garden in New York next week.
