The same judge also suspended the pop star\u2019s driving privileges, a gesture that will only restrict Timberlake\u2019s activities in the Empire State.<\/p>\n<p>Timberlake was arrested in June after police <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vanityfair.com\/style\/story\/justin-timberlake-drunk-driving-arrest\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">said that he was observed<\/a> running a stop sign and swerving between lanes while driving a grey 2025 BMW through the streets of Sag Harbor, Long Island. According to Justin Timberlake\u2019s lawyer, <strong>Ed Burke<\/strong>, the musician declined police requests that he take a Breathalyzer test at the scene, reportedly telling police \u201cI had one martini and followed my friends home.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall\">According to Sag Harbor police, when he was pulled over, Timberlake&#8217;s eyes were \u201cbloodshot and glassy,\u201d and smelled strongly of alcohol. He \u201chad slowed speech, he was unsteady afoot, and he performed poorly on all standardized field sobriety tests,\u201d the report reads.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"AssetEmbedWrapper-eVDQiB byBkf asset-embed\">\n<div class=\"AssetEmbedAssetContainer-eJxoAx dBHGoQ asset-embed__asset-container\"><span class=\"SpanWrapper-umhxW kGxnNB responsive-asset AssetEmbedResponsiveAsset-cXBNxi eCxVQK asset-embed__responsive-asset\"><picture class=\"ResponsiveImagePicture-cWuUZO dUOtEa AssetEmbedResponsiveAsset-cXBNxi eCxVQK asset-embed__responsive-asset responsive-image\"><noscript><\/noscript><\/picture><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"CaptionWrapper-jSZdqE cmter caption AssetEmbedCaption-fNQBPI fmQnYP asset-embed__caption\"><span class=\"BaseWrap-sc-gjQpdd BaseText-ewhhUZ CaptionText-bHjzlu iUEiRd jSwmTa iXWezO caption__text\"><\/p>\n<p>Justin Timberlake&#8217;s lawyer Edward Burke Jr. makes a speech as he holds a press conference in front of Sag Harbor Municipal Building after the trial in Long Island, New York, United States on July 26, 2024.<\/p>\n<p><\/span><span class=\"BaseWrap-sc-gjQpdd BaseText-ewhhUZ CaptionCredit-ejegDm iUEiRd cvffOM fNaHcW caption__credit\">Anadolu\/Getty Images<\/span><\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<p class=\"paywall\">But issues with that report are one of the reasons the charges against Timberlake should be dropped, his attorney said following a hearing on July 26. \u201cThe police made a number of very significant errors in this case,\u201d Burke said in a press conference. \u201cSometimes the police, like every one of us, make mistakes. And that&#8217;s the case in this very instance.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall\">\u201cHe was not intoxicated. I&#8217;ll say it again. Justin Timberlake was not intoxicated,\u201d Burke said then. \u201cAnd we are very confident that charge, that criminal charge, will be dismissed.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall\">One of the errors Burke referenced was a lack of necessary signatures on Timberlake&#8217;s initial charging papers. That mistake meant <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vanityfair.com\/hollywood\/2022\/05\/justin-timberlake-candy-role-explained\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">the <em>Candy<\/em> actor<\/a> had to be arraigned for a second time on Friday, this time with the paperwork intact.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall\">Timberlake appeared in the courtroom virtually, as he is <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vanityfair.com\/hollywood\/story\/justin-timberlake-tour-arrest\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">currently on tour<\/a> in support of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vanityfair.com\/hollywood\/dakota-johnson-justin-timberlake-saturday-night-live\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">his sixth studio album<\/a>, March release <em>Everything I Thought It Was<\/em>. As with his last arraignment, he entered a plea of not guilty, and answered \u201cyes\u201d when asked questions by Sag Harbor Village Justice <strong>Carl Irace<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall\">The bulk of the exchange involved Burke and Irace, the latter of whom threatened a gag order over Burke\u2019s remarks from last week.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall\">Burke&#8217;s comments to the press came \u201coff as an attempt to poison the case before it even begins,\u201d Irace warned, describing them as \u201cirresponsible.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall\">\u201cThink about the law \u2026 before making comments,\u201d Irace said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall\">Irace also announced that <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vanityfair.com\/topic\/justin-timberlake\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Timberlake<\/a>\u2019s driver\u2019s license would be suspended for the duration of the case, due to his refusal to take a chemical sobriety test at the time of his arrest. However, as Timberlake&#8217;s license was issued in a state other than New York, the suspension applies only in that state.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall\">The next hearing in the case has been set for August 9, but Timberlake isn&#8217;t required to appear. However, Irace is already setting the stage for an in-person court appearance on September 13, and asked Burke to make sure Timberlake was available to appear on that date. If a trial does occur and Timberlake is convicted, he could be fined up to $2,500 and sentenced to as long as a year in prison.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.vanityfair.com\/style\/story\/justin-timberlake-dui-suspended-license\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A week after Justin Timberlake\u2019s defense attorney claimed that the singer had been mistakenly arrested in the Hamptons, the judge overseeing the case threatened to quash public conversation about the \u201cCry Me A River\u201d singer&#8217;s drunk driving case.
