Justin Timberlake's DWI Case: Attorney Claims Errors in Arrest

In a recent court hearing, Justin Timberlake's attorney, Ed Burke, asserted that the pop star was "not intoxicated" at the time of his arrest for driving while intoxicated (DWI) on June 18. Burke criticized the police investigation, claiming "significant errors" were made that led to Timberlake's arrest. He emphasized that the most crucial fact is Timberlake's sobriety, stating, "He should not have been arrested for DWI." Burke represented Timberlake at the hearing, where the singer waived his appearance. He expressed confidence that the charges against Timberlake would ultimately be dismissed. The attorney's statements come in light of the district attorney's attempts to address the alleged mistakes made during the investigation. The arresting officer reported that Timberlake exhibited several signs of intoxication, including "bloodshot and glossy eyes," an inability to divide his attention, and a "strong odor of an alcoholic beverage" on his breath. Additionally, the officer noted that Timberlake was "unsteady afoot" and had "slow speech." However, it was revealed that the officer did not recognize Timberlake's identity during the traffic stop, as captured in body camera footage. Timberlake faces one count of DWI, along with citations for failure to keep right and failure to stop at a stop sign, as confirmed by the district attorney's office. The case continues to unfold as both sides prepare for further legal proceedings.
