Justin Timberlake’s Defense Before Spending 9 Hours in Cell For DWI: ‘I Had One Martini’
Justin Timberlake was forced to spend nine hours in a Hamptons jail early Tuesday morning after he was arrested for driving his BMW while allegedly intoxicated.
The Sag Harbor Police Department confirmed to The Daily Beast that the 43-year-old singer was arrested at 12:37 a.m. on Tuesday for failing to stop his 2025 BMW southbound at a stop sign “and failing to maintain his lane of travel” in the Long Island village. Timberlake was arrested after refusing three times to take a chemical test—even though cops say he appeared to be drunk and had bloodshot, glassy eyes, according to a criminal complaint.
“I had one martini and I followed my friends home,” Timberlake allegedly told cops, the complaint states.
