In the early morning hours of June 18, Timberlake refused a breathalyzer test after failing to make a stop and failing to stay in his lane while driving down Madison Street in the Hamptons, according to police.
When pulled over by authorities, Timberlake “performed poorly on all standardized field sobriety tests,” the arresting officer stated in documents obtained by Fox News Digital.
Timberlake told the arresting officer he had one martini and was following some friends home, according to the documents. After being arrested and taken to a police station in nearby East Hampton, he refused a breath test, according to the court papers, which listed his occupation as “professional” and said he’s “self-employed.”

The *NSYNC member had “bloodshot and glossy” eyes, a “strong odor of an alcoholic beverage was emanating from his breath” and he was “unable to divide attention,” according to the complaint. Timberlake also exhibited “slowed speech” and was “unsteady afoot.”
He was charged with one count of driving while intoxicated along with citations for failure to keep right and failure to stop at a stop sign, the district attorney’s office confirmed to Fox News Digital. He is expected to appear virtually for his first court hearing in the matter on July 26.
A spokesperson for Timberlake’s lawyer, Ed Burke, told Fox News Digital at the time, “No comment from Mr. Burke at this time.”
