Justin Timberlake, the famous pop singer and actor, is expected to make a new statement on Friday regarding his recent case of driving under the influence in New York's Hamptons. According to prosecutors, the details of his plea have not been revealed yet. However, a reliable source has confirmed that Timberlake has agreed to plead guilty to a less serious offense, instead of the original charge of driving while intoxicated.
The person who disclosed this information to the Associated Press wanted to remain anonymous as they were not authorized to speak about the case publicly. When asked for a comment, Timberlake's attorney, Edward Burke, declined to give any statement. The 43-year-old singer is scheduled to appear in Sag Harbor Village Court in person this Friday, as confirmed by the Suffolk County District Attorney's office on Wednesday.
Timberlake was arrested in the village of Sag Harbor on June 18, after he allegedly ran a stop sign, swerved out of his lane, and was found to be smelling of alcohol when he got out of his BMW. He pleaded not guilty to a misdemeanor charge of driving under the influence. At a previous hearing, the judge suspended his driving privileges in New York.
His lawyer, Burke, has maintained that Timberlake was not intoxicated at the time of the incident, and has been pushing for the case to be dropped. The police report stated that Timberlake was stopped after leaving a hotel in Sag Harbor at around 12:30 am. The officer who pulled him over observed that his eyes were bloodshot and glassy, and he had a strong smell of alcohol on his breath. He also showed signs of impairment during standard field sobriety tests.
According to the police, Timberlake told the officer that he had only consumed one martini and was following his friends home. He was then arrested and spent the night in custody at a police station. His agent and other representatives did not respond immediately to requests for comment on Wednesday.
Timberlake, who rose to fame as a member of the boy band NSYNC and then went on to have a successful solo career, has won 10 Grammy Awards. He started performing as a young Disney Mouseketeer and has since become a household name in the entertainment industry. Sag Harbor, where the incident took place, is a charming village known for its mention in Herman Melville's classic novel "Moby-Dick". It is located in the Hamptons, about 160 kilometers east of New York City.
