Justin Timberlake's Drunk Driving Arrest: Video & Sentence Details

0:00It's March 21st in Canada. Let's get into the news. Police have released video footage from Justin Timberlake's drunk driving arrest in New York's Hamptons back in June 2024. The roughly 8-hour recording shows the singer struggling with standard field sobriety tests after officers pulled him over for running a stop sign and veering out of his lane. Officers noted he smowed of alcohol as he stepped out of his BMW. Timberlake had trouble walking heel to toe in a straight line and balancing on one leg appearing flustered while following instructions. He seemed nervous during the stop, later expressing surprise at being held overnight in the cell. His lawyers initially sued to block the video's release, citing privacy concerns and potential harm to his reputation. But they agreed to a redacted version after media request. Timberlake pleaded guilty in September to a lesser impaired driving charge downgraded from a misdemeanor to a non-criminal violation. His sentence includes a $500 fine, 25 hours of community service, a 90-day license suspension, and a public safety message.
