Justin Timberlake’s mugshot has been released after he was charged with drink-driving.
The SexyBack singer had been in Long Island, New York state, reportedly having dinner with friends, before he left a restaurant and was pulled over by police, who arrested him.
Sag Harbor Police chief Robert Drake said in a statement Timberlake had failed to stop at a stop sign and could not stay in his lane while driving a 2025 BMW at 12.37am on Tuesday.
Court documents filed added the former boy band star’s eyes were “bloodshot and glassy” when he was pulled over by police.
It then said: “A strong odour of an alcoholic beverage was emanating from his breath, he was unable to divide attention, he had slowed speech, he was unsteady afoot and he performed poorly on all standardized field sobriety tests.”
Timberlake also told officers he had one martini and was following some friends home, and refused to take a breath test after being arrested and taken to a police station in nearby East Hampton.
