Justin Timberlake, the ‘Prince of Pop,’ has recently embarked on his highly-anticipated sixth tour, the Forget Tomorrow World Tour. However, his tour has been overshadowed by his shocking arrest in New York for allegedly driving while intoxicated (DWI).
In the early hours of Tuesday morning, Timberlake was pulled over by police in Sag Harbor. According to TMZ, he was following friends and did not drive erratically, but officers observed him running a stop sign and struggling to stay in a straight line. Timberlake claimed he had “just had one martini” and was heading home.
Sag Harbor police officer Michael Arkinson reported Timberlake’s eyes were “bloodshot and glassy,” his breath smelled of alcohol, and he performed poorly on sobriety tests.
