Justin Timberlake, the renowned singer and actor, found himself in hot water after being arrested for allegedly driving under the influence in Sag Harbor, LI. The incident occurred in the early hours of Tuesday when Timberlake was reported to have blown a stop sign and veered out of his lane.

According to sources, Timberlake, 43, muttered to the arresting officer that the situation would ‘ruin the tour.’ The Grammy-winning artist, currently on a world tour with upcoming dates in New York City, was charged with driving while intoxicated, running a stop sign, and failing to stay in his lane, as per court documents.

Witnesses at a local bar described Timberlake as ‘wasted,’ mentioning that he even mistakenly drank someone else’s beverage while at the establishment. Despite claiming to have only consumed one martini and followed his friends home, Timberlake declined to take a Breathalyzer test on three separate occasions.

During his arraignment, Timberlake reportedly struggled to pass field sobriety tests, indicating a failed attempt. The singer, known for hits like ‘SexyBack,’ has previously acknowledged struggles with excessive drinking.

While facing potential jail time in Suffolk County if convicted, legal experts suggest that Timberlake is unlikely to receive a severe sentence due to his clean criminal record. It is anticipated that the charge may be reduced, resulting in a fine and a temporary suspension of his driver’s license.

Before the incident, Timberlake was said to be dining with friends at a local upscale venue, where he had a martini. The singer’s wife, actress Jessica Biel, was reportedly in Manhattan at the time for work.

Timberlake, who was seen driving a 2025 gray BMW, was released without bail following his court appearance. The episode has sparked concerns among fans and industry insiders about the impact on Timberlake’s career and personal life.
