Pop sensation Justin Timberlake found himself in legal trouble on Monday night when he was arrested for driving while intoxicated (DWI) in Sag Harbor, New York. The 43-year-old singer, known for hits like “SexyBack” and “Can’t Stop the Feeling,” was taken into custody following a traffic stop in the Hamptons.
According to a report from ABC News, citing a law enforcement official, Timberlake was driving in Sag Harbor when he was pulled over by the police. The incident occurred after the singer had dinner at the American Hotel, a popular local establishment. A source told People that Timberlake was on his way to a friend’s house when he was stopped by the authorities.
The Sag Harbor official confirmed that the charges Timberlake faces are related to driving while intoxicated. The singer remained in custody on Tuesday morning and is expected to be arraigned later in the day. The source speaking to People assured that “nobody was hurt” during the incident.
This arrest comes at a busy time for Timberlake, who is currently on his Forget Tomorrow tour, which kicked off in April. The singer is scheduled to perform in Chicago this weekend and at the iconic Madison Square Garden in New York City next week. It remains unclear how this legal issue will impact his upcoming performances.
Just a day before his arrest, Timberlake took to Instagram to express his love and gratitude for his two sons, Silas, 9, and Phineas, 3, whom he shares with his wife, actress Jessica Biel. In the heartfelt post, the singer wrote, “I learn more about myself everyday just because you both chose me to be your Daddy. I will always be there for you through your peaks and valleys… to lift you up and show you how high you can take this life and to pick you up when you fall. And, of course, to flood you with insufferable Dad-jokes all along the way. I love you both so much.”
The news of Timberlake’s arrest has sent shockwaves through the entertainment industry and has sparked discussions about the consequences of driving under the influence.
