Justin Timberlake Pleads Not Guilty to DWI

Singer Justin Timberlake pleaded not guilty to a charge of driving while intoxicated after being arrested in June in Sag Harbor, New York, where police spotted him failing to obey a stop sign and veering off lane.

Sag Harbor Village judge, Carl Irace, suspended his driving privileges in the state of New York at the virtual hearing, confirmed by the court.

The judge also threatened Timberlake's attorney Edward Burke with a gag order for comments he made to the press after the previous hearing on July 26, saying that his comments came off as "an attempt to poison the case before it even begins."

Burke said at the July press conference that the singer was not intoxicated and should not have been arrested.

"The police made a number of very significant errors in this case," he told the media. "We are very confident that that charge, the criminal charge, will be dismissed."

Timberlake was charged with the misdemeanor on June 18 after police said he ran a stop sign and veered out of his lane in Sag Harbor, a one time whaling village mentioned in Herman Melville’s classic novel “Moby-Dick” that's nestled amid the Hamptons, around 100 miles east of New York City.

The boy band singer-turned-solo star and actor was driving a 2025 BMW around 12:30 a.m. when an officer stopped him and determined he was intoxicated, according to a court document.

When stopped by police, Timberlake's eyes "were bloodshot and glassy, a strong odor of an alcoholic beverage was emanating from his breath, he was unable to divide attention, he was unsteady afoot and performed poorly on all standardized field sobriety tests," said court documents.

The musician is currently in Europe on a world tour for his most recent album, "Everything I Thought It Was."

His next court hearing is scheduled for August 9.
