According to Sag Harbor Village police, Timberlake drove through a stop sign and shifted into oncoming traffic at 12:37 a.m. on Tuesday. He was driving a 2025 grey BMW XM on Madison Street when he failed to stop and stay in his lane.
Police reported that Timberlake was driving drunk, had bloodshot and glassy eyes, and his breath smelled strongly of alcohol. He also had slow speech, was unsteady on his feet, and did poorly on a field sobriety test.
Timberlake told the arresting officer he had only one drink. The 43-year-old pop star was held overnight and released on his own recognizance Tuesday morning.
