Justin Timberlake's DWI Case Hearing Highlights Disputed Arrest

A hearing regarding Justin Timberlake's alleged driving while intoxicated (DWI) took place on Friday, where his attorney, Edward Burke, challenged the validity of the singer's arrest in June. Burke asserted, “The most important fact to know about this case is that Justin was not intoxicated and should not have been arrested for DWI,” emphasizing that significant errors were made by law enforcement during the incident. Burke further stated that Timberlake respects law enforcement and the judicial process, noting that the singer cooperated fully with police during the arrest. He expressed confidence that the charges against Timberlake would ultimately be dismissed, reiterating that the arrest was unwarranted. Timberlake was not present at the hearing as he is currently on tour promoting his latest album, “Everything I Thought It Was.” The arrest occurred in Sag Harbor, New York, where police reported observing Timberlake driving a 2025 BMW in the early morning hours. Allegations include failing to stop at a stop sign and not maintaining his lane. According to court records, Timberlake admitted to having consumed one martini before driving home with friends. However, police described him as “unable to divide attention,” with slowed speech and unsteadiness, and he reportedly performed poorly on field sobriety tests. An arraignment for Timberlake is scheduled for next month, as the case continues to unfold.
