Justin Timberlake arrested in New York for alleged DUI
In mid-June, media reported the arrest of Justin Timberlake, who was accused of driving under the influence of alcohol. Now, details about the singer's arrest have come to light. It has been revealed, among other things, that the 43-year-old was unable to pass sobriety tests.
Justin Timberlake took his first steps in the show business as an 11-year-old boy, and today he is considered one of the most popular vocalists in the world. In the second half of June, the 43-year-old artist made headlines after it was revealed that he had been arrested in New York for allegedly driving under the influence of alcohol. The police intervention reportedly occurred after the American star ran a stop sign and did not stay in his lane.
According to media reports, "the drunken spree" of the "Cry Me a River" hitmaker was preceded by a dinner with friends. According to the Daily Mail, the singer allegedly stated during the arrest that he had "only one martini". Last Friday, a court hearing took place where Justin was represented by his lawyer. Attorney Edward Burke Jr. stated in court that "the police made a mistake" and also expressed his confidence that the charge of driving under the influence would be dismissed.

According to the content of the police report, Timberlake "was unable to comply properly with the police's instructions".
