Justin Timberlake Arrested for DWI in the Hamptons: Mugshot and Details Released**
Justin Timberlake, known for his chart-topping hits and multifaceted entertainment career, found himself in hot water early Tuesday morning after being arrested for Driving While Intoxicated (DWI) in Sag Harbor, located in the Hamptons. The Sag Harbor police department has since released his mugshot, which captures the star with bloodshot eyes and a stern expression, seemingly devoid of emotion. Timberlake, dressed in a black shirt and appearing clean-cut, was detained after allegedly running a stop sign and exhibiting erratic driving behavior.
Sources report that Timberlake had been socializing with friends at the American Hotel and left the establishment around 12:30 A.M. Shortly after departing, he was pulled over by police who noticed his vehicle swerving. Law enforcement sources told TMZ that Timberlake appeared “glassy-eyed,” and officers detected the odor of alcohol on his breath. According to an arrest report obtained by People, Timberlake admitted to having had “one martini” and mentioned he was following friends home. Despite his claim, he reportedly failed a field sobriety test, struggling to walk and turn and balance on one leg.
The arrest scene was marked by an attempt from Timberlake’s friends to intervene and persuade the police to release him, but their efforts were unsuccessful. The singer was handcuffed and taken into custody. The Suffolk County District Attorney’s office issued a statement Tuesday morning confirming Timberlake’s arrest for DWI, stating that he would be arraigned in Sag Harbor Village Justice Court later that morning, and noted that there would be no further comments at that time.
When Timberlake appeared in court, he attempted to maintain a low profile, donning a dark-colored band t-shirt under an open short-sleeved black button-up shirt, complemented by a black baseball cap and dark sunglasses. He was formally charged with one count of Driving While Intoxicated and received citations for running a stop sign and failing to maintain his lane. His next court date is scheduled for July 26, the same day his European tour, part of his “Forget Tomorrow World Tour,” is set to commence in Krakow, Poland.
The impact of the arrest on Timberlake’s tour remains uncertain, although it has raised concerns for the singer. According to a source quoted by Page Six, Timberlake was overheard expressing his anxiety about the incident affecting his tour, saying, “This is going to ruin the tour.” His remark reportedly left the arresting officer puzzled, prompting Timberlake to clarify that he was referring to his world tour.
Timberlake’s immediate tour dates include shows in Chicago starting June 21, followed by performances at Madison Square Garden in New York on June 25 and 26. His last concert took place on June 15 at the Kaseya Center in Miami.
As Timberlake and his team assess the situation and its potential ramifications on his professional commitments, fans and the public await further developments regarding both his legal matters and his tour schedule.
