Justin Timberlake was arrested by police in a drunk and unconscious state, according to Page Six. The incident occurred in New York on June 18.
The Sag Harbor Police Department reported that Timberlake was driving his BMW south on Madison Street early in the morning when he failed to stop properly at a stop sign and did not stay in his lane.
A police officer pulled Timberlake over and determined he was intoxicated. His eyes were bloodshot, and his breath smelled strongly of alcohol. He was unsteady on his feet and unable to complete sobriety and attention tests.
Timberlake was detained overnight for investigation. He was released at 9:30 a.m. on June 18 under the guarantee of a lawyer without having to pay a fine. Ed Burke, Timberlake’s lawyer, confirmed to Us Weekly that Timberlake had refused to take an alcohol test and had committed two traffic violations: not stopping at the stop sign and not staying in his lane.
Timberlake is scheduled to appear in court on July 26. The incident may affect his tour plans in Poland, although it is unclear if his lawyer can represent him at the trial.
The police released a post-arrest portrait showing Timberlake with bloodshot eyes and a lack of alertness.
