Justin Timberlake’s DUI Case: Attorney Contests Arrest and Denies Drunkenness
In a recent development, a hearing in Justin Timberlake’s case on drunken driving charges was set for Friday, with the singer’s attorney contesting his June arrest. Timberlake’s attorney, Edward Burke, emphasized that Timberlake was not drunk and should not have been arrested for drunk driving. Burke stated that there were some serious mistakes made in the handling of the case and that they are confident the charge will be dismissed.
Details of the Arrest and Allegations
Timberlake was arrested in June in Sag Harbor, New York, while he was touring for his latest album, Everything I Thought It Was. The singer was found driving a 2025 BMW in the early hours of the morning and was accused of “operating a vehicle while intoxicated” by the police. Allegedly, Timberlake failed to stop at a stop sign and maintain his lane, leading to the traffic stop by an officer.
During the encounter with the police, Timberlake admitted to having a martini and following his friend home, as per court records. The arresting officer described Timberlake as impaired, noting that he spoke slower, was unsteady on his feet, and performed poorly on standardized field sobriety tests.
Upcoming Trial and Legal Proceedings
Despite the challenges faced during the arrest, Timberlake’s case is scheduled to go to trial next month. His attorney, Edward Burke, reiterated Timberlake’s respect for law enforcement and the judicial process, maintaining that the singer was wrongfully arrested for drunk driving. The legal team is prepared to contest the allegations and present their case in court.
As the legal process unfolds, Timberlake continues to focus on his music career and upcoming projects. The outcome of the trial will ultimately determine the resolution of the DUI charges and any potential consequences for the singer.
