It has been reported that Justin Timberlake, the talented Cry Me A River singer, was arrested in June for drunk driving in Sag Harbor, a luxurious area in the Hamptons, New York. However, it seems that the singer will not face any charges for this incident, thanks to a plea deal that his legal team has arranged.
According to several US outlets, the 43-year-old has agreed to plead guilty to a traffic violation and pay a fine of around $300 to $500. This is a significant decrease from the initial charge of driving while intoxicated, which carried a potential jail sentence of one year and a fine of $2,500. The plea deal is expected to be finalized in a court hearing on Friday, where the judge will confirm the fine.
It was reported that Justin's driving privileges in New York were suspended after a virtual hearing last month. However, his legal team has maintained that he was not intoxicated at the time of his arrest. Despite this, his driving license will still be suspended in New York, as he allegedly refused to take a breathalyzer test, which automatically triggers a one-year suspension from the roads.
The Sag Harbor Village Police Department stated that Justin was pulled over on June 18 at 12:37 am after officers observed him failing to stop at a stop sign and swerving while driving his BMW. The court documents also mentioned that his eyes were bloodshot and glassy, and he had a strong smell of alcohol on his breath. The officer alleged that Justin performed poorly on all standardized field sobriety tests and was unable to divide his attention.
However, Justin has denied all these allegations, and his lawyer, Edward Burke Jr, has spoken out in his defense. He stated that there were significant errors made by the police in this case, and they are confident that the charges will be dismissed. During a concert in Boston after his release, Justin appeared to make a subtle dig at the arrest, asking the crowd if anyone was driving and then jokingly saying, "No, I'm just kidding."
The Agency has reached out to Justin's representatives for a comment on this matter.
