Timberlake had a run-in with the law as he was arrested by the Sag Harbour police on Tuesday for suspected drunk driving. This took place after an eyewitness noticed him sipping on a Vesper Martini, a drink famously known for its association with James Bond, at the American Hotel located in the Hamptons. The fancy cocktail came with a price tag of $21. After leaving the hotel, Timberlake was seen behind the wheel of a 2025 BMW. The incident escalated when he was pulled over for allegedly ignoring a stop sign and weaving out of his driving lane.
Take a look at the post:
Timberlake found himself in hot water, facing charges for DUI. This was no usual event, as it was a young rookie officer who pulled him over, completely oblivious to Timberlake’s fame. The whole incident was taped on the officer’s body camera. The conversation recorded showed Timberlake fretting about how this might throw his upcoming tour off the track. The officer’s clueless response? “What tour?”
As per some insider reports by CNN, friends of Timberlake claim his intake was limited just to one martini. However, contra to these claims, law enforcement documentation reveals that the 43-year-old evidently reeked of alcohol and denied taking a breathalyzer test on three separate instances. Additionally, he was caught bypassing a stop sign while driving.
Witnesses shared that Timberlake wandered off for a fresh drink when they were away from their spot. When the police arrived, they noticed a heavy scent of liquor surrounding him. They further noted his struggle to maintain focus, his drawn-out speech pattern, and his unstable footing.
Timberlake was pictured in a concerning mugshot with eyes both bloodshot and injured. Unable to secure bail, Timberlake was seen in the courtroom later that day, clad not in formal attire, but everyday clothes. It’s worth noting, various reports highlighted his history of battling alcohol addiction and expressed worry over his struggle to manage his drinking habits.
