What is Justin Timberlake bringing back this time? Early stars with CFAs. He is now part of the category of “those other boys who don’t know how to act”. Timberlake was arrested in the Hamptons on June 18 for drunken driving, Sag Harbor police confirmed to New York Times. Below are the latest updates.

June 18, 1:00 p.m.: Justin Timberlake was in the Hamptons when Sag Harbor police arrested him for drunk driving. TMZ reported that JT was partying at the American Hotel, got in his car, ran a stop sign and started swerving, so cops pulled him over around 12:30 a.m. Apparently, some of Timberlake's friends showed up and tried to convince him. the cops don't arrest him. That morning, he appeared in court and was ultimately released without bail, according to TMZ. His hearing is currently set for July 26, according to People. Timberlake is on tour and has two dates in Chicago this weekend. Fortunately, we don't think he planned to go there himself.

June 18, 5:00 p.m.: According to the criminal report of the incident, obtained by the New York Job, while speaking to police, Timberlake claimed he only drank one martini. Other reports from Job called Timberlake “wasteful” and said he stole other people's drinks. While under arrest, Timberlake refused to take a breathalyzer test three times and failed a field sobriety test. “His eyes were bloodshot and glassy, ​​a strong odor of alcoholic beverage emanated from his breath, he was unable to divide his attention, he had slowed speech, he was unsteady and he performed poorly on all sobriety tests standardized in the field,” the report says.

What added to the insult…and other drunken insults, was the fact that the arresting officer didn't know who Timberlake was. Apparently, Timberlake muttered under his breath that “this is going to ruin the tour,” to which the officer responded, “What tour?” which led Timberlake to clarify: “The world tour.” Not necessarily a pop icon wanna need to clarify.
