Justin Timberlake, a pop musician, was arrested and charged with driving while drunk in Long Island, New York. He was freed without posting bail after refusing a breath test and disobeying a stop sign. Timberlake was described by the police as having "bloodshot and glassy" eyes, a noticeable alcohol odor, delayed speech, and difficulty paying attention. He was also charged with one count of violating a stop sign and failing to remain in his lane, leading to a one-year driving prohibition in New York.

Timberlake was allegedly seen skipping a stop sign and swerving across the road while operating his BMW X7 after spending the night out with friends at The American Hotel bar. A witness described him as "wasted" and admitted to having only "one martini" when detaining cops. He has a court appearance planned on July 26, which might interfere with his "Forget Tomorrow" global tour, as he has a performance booked for that same day in Poland. It is yet uncertain whether one of Timberlake's attorneys will be allowed to represent him in court.

The Sag Harbor Police Department released a statement on June 18, 2024, stating that Timberlake was seen driving a 2025 BMW southbound on Madison Street, failing to maintain his lane of travel and to stop at a properly placed stop sign. After a traffic stop, it was determined that Timberlake was operating his vehicle in an intoxicated condition. He was arrested, processed, and detained overnight in anticipation of his morning hearing. He was subsequently freed on his own recognizance after being arraigned at the Sag Harbor Village Justice Court on June 18, 2024.
