Pop star Justin Timberlake was arrested in the Hamptons in Long Island, N.Y. early Tuesday, Sag Harbor police confirmed. The celebrity was arrested on charges related to driving while under the influence (DUI) in Sag Harbor, according to court documents obtained by CBS News. The documents allege Timberlake, 43, was pulled over by police after he drove his BMW through a stop sign at Madison Street and Jermain Avenue, and his car was seen weaving on the road.
“This is a very serious offence obviously, if he committed it, because he’s putting himself and everyone else in danger if he was driving while he was impaired,” celebrity divorce lawyer Chris Melcher said. “Now, if it’s a first time for him and we have no indication that he’s ever had any similar problems like this, then it would probably just be probation, a suspension of his licence, maybe some drug and alcohol counselling, and some fines.”
“In today’s day and age, with technology and Uber — and especially someone like Justin with unlimited resources — there’s no excuse to get behind the wheel. [I’m] grateful that no one was seriously injured and that it was just a DUI,” said ‘Next in Line’ podcast host Sam Pezz.
Timberlake has two concerts scheduled in Chicago this weekend and two shows in New York City next week, according to his website. Court documents indicate that Timberlake was released Tuesday on his own recognizance without a set bail, and that his next court appearance is scheduled for July 26.
