Grammy-winning singer and actor Justin Timberlake, 43, was arrested and charged with driving while intoxicated (DWI) in Sag Harbor, New York, around 12:30 a.m. on Monday.
Witnesses claimed Timberlake exhibited signs of intoxication, including bloodshot eyes, slurred speech, and unsteadiness. He allegedly failed sobriety tests and declined a breathalyzer test, despite claiming to have had only one martini.
Timberlake was reportedly pulled over for traffic violations like running a stop sign and failing to maintain his lane.
According to police, Timberlake was stopped after running a stop sign and weaving along the road in his 2025 BMW. He was observed failing to stop at a stop sign and failing to maintain his lane of travel.
Timberlake was arrested, processed, and held overnight before being arraigned the next morning.
Timberlake has not yet issued a statement about the incident, and his representatives have not commented.
Sag Harbor is a popular nightlife and vacation destination known for its affluence, and Timberlake has upcoming solo shows in New York City and Chicago.
In an unrelated incident, Howie Mandel's wife, Terry, suffered injuries after falling out of a hotel bed while under the influence of marijuana gummies, not alcohol. She sustained bruising, lacerations, and was taken to the hospital but has since recovered fully.
