Justin Timberlake is facing a charge of driving while intoxicated following his arrest by police in Sag Harbor, N.Y. NBC News’ Chloe Melas reports on the investigation and what could happen next.
Justin Timberlake has pleaded guilty to a charge of driving while impaired in the Hamptons, New York, a lesser offense than his initial charge of driving while intoxicated. The 43-year-old pop star arrived at the Sag Harbor Village Justice Court on Friday morning to a throng of media cameras and reporters that descended on the small beach town for his hearing.
The police officer who stopped Timberlake wrote in the complaint that the singer claimed to have had one martini, but there were tell-tale signs that he was not sober: His eyes were “bloodshot and glassy,” his breath smelled strongly like alcohol, his speech was slow and his balance was off. Timberlake also “performed poorly on all standardized field sobriety tests,” the officer wrote, adding that the “Cry Me a River” singer declined a breath test.
