Justin Timberlake arrested on DWI charge in the Hamptons: Report

Justin Timberlake was arrested Monday night in the Hamptons and is accused of driving while intoxicated, a law enforcement official told ABC News.

The “SexyBack” singer was spidered on Tuesday. A spokesperson for Timberlake has not yet responded to Yahoo Entertainment's request for comment.

What just happened

The singer was in Sag Harbor, NY, on Monday night when the arrest occurred, the law enforcement official told the outlet.

Timberlake had dinner at the American Hotel and was headed to a friend's home when he was pulled over, according to People.

A Sag Harbor Police Department spokesperson told NBC News that Timberlake was in custody as of Tuesday morning. He was arrested soon after — on a charge of DWI and citations for running a stop sign and failing to stay in his lane. He was released without bail and photographed leaving court — wearing jeans, a graphic T-shirt, short-sleeve button-down shirt and a cap — his attorney.

The police department is expected to release a formal statement on the matter later in the day. Yahoo has reached out to the Sag Harbor Police Department, Sag Harbor Justice Court and the Suffolk County District Attorney but did not immediately receive responses.

The Hamptons are on New York's Long Island and serve as a summer playground for the rich and famous.

Currently on tour

Timberlake is currently on the road with his “Forget Tomorrow World Tour.” Over the weekend, he performed in Tampa and Miami. This weekend, he has two shows in Chicago, followed by two in New York City on June 25 and 26.

Timberlake's wife, Jessica Biel, has been in New York City shooting the Amazon series The Better Sister. On Monday night, she was shooting in Central Park. Biel posted a Father's Day tribute to Timberlake, with whom she shared two children, the day before.
