More details surrounding Justin Timberlake‘s DWI arrest have come to light. In keeping with several outlets, the 43-year-old NSYNC band member informed law enforcement officials that he had one drink before he got in his automotive the night of Monday, June 17, while out within the Hamptons in Long Island, Recent York.
Per the criminal grievance obtained by The Recent York Post and Page Six, Timberlake allegedly refused to take a Breathalyzer test 3 times when approached by an officer. The grievance read that Timberlake’s “eyes were bloodshot and glassy, a powerful 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 arresting officer also reported that the “Cry Me a River” hitmaker gave “oral admission,” telling the cop, “I had one martini, and I followed my friends home.”
Timberlake was subsequently arrested at around 12:30 a.m. the morning of Tuesday, June 18, and transported to Sag Harbor Police Headquarters for processing. Moreover, the pop super star was charged with one count of driving while intoxicated and for 2 traffic violations, which were failing to stop at a stop sign and failing to stay in his lane while driving.
The Sag Harbor Police Department didn’t immediately reply to Hollywood Life‘s request for comment.
Afterward Tuesday, Timberlake was photographed leaving the Sag Harbor Police Department upon his release. He’s reportedly not expected back in court until a while in July.
The “Mirrors” crooner’s arrest comes amid his Forget Tomorrow World Tour. He’s scheduled to perform in Chicago later this week and is predicted to perform at Madison Square Garden in Recent York City next week. He has not publicly addressed the arrest.
Last weekend, Timberlake celebrated Father’s Day by sharing an Instagram post of him and his children, Silas and Phineas, whom he shares with wife Jessica Biel. In his caption, Timberlake called his kids the “two best gifts.”
“I learn more about myself on a regular basis simply because you each selected me to be your Daddy,” he wrote. “I’ll all the time be there for you thru your peaks and valleys… to lift you up and show you ways high you possibly can take this life and to choose you up whenever you fall. And, after all, to flood you with insufferable Dad-jokes all along the best way. I really like you each a lot. Thanks for giving me my biggest purpose.”
