He will face a DWI charge, a court official said. “On June 18, 2024, Justin Timberlake was arrested in Sag Harbor for Driving While Intoxicated,” according to a Suffolk County District Attorney’s Office statement. “He will be arraigned in Sag Harbor Village Justice Court this morning. At this time, we have no further comment.”
Timberlake had dined at The American Hotel in Sag Harbor “and then headed to a friend’s house when he was pulled over by police,” a source close to the musician said.
