  • Newly released police body camera footage shows Justin Timberlake struggling with field sobriety tests during his June 2024 DWI arrest in Sag Harbor, Hamptons.
  • The video captures Timberlake appearing flustered, telling officers he had only one martini, and identifying himself as "Justin Timberlake" after being pulled over for traffic violations.
  • Timberlake was arrested for suspicion of driving while intoxicated after failing the field tests and was held overnight at the police station.
  • The footage's release followed a legal agreement between Sag Harbor officials and Timberlake's attorneys, who initially argued it would cause "severe and irreparable harm" to his reputation.
  • Timberlake pleaded guilty in September 2024 to a reduced charge of impaired driving, resulting in a $500 fine, 25 hours of community service, a 90-day license suspension and a public safety message.
