More than NBC New York:
An officer observed the gray BMW with Florida license plates driven by Timberlake twice fail to stay on the right side of the road just before 1 a.m. Tuesday in Sag Harbor, according to the criminal complaint. He also allegedly failed to stop at a stop sign on Madison Street at Jermain Avenue, before having difficulty staying on the side of the road.
The officer who stopped him said the so-called “Prince of Pop” appeared to be drunk, with bloodshot, glassy eyes and a strong odor of alcohol on his breath. The complaint says Timberlake was unsteady and had slow speech. He also reportedly performed poorly on field sobriety tests. They said he couldn't concentrate on talking to police while looking for his registration.
The report adds that Timberlake's lawyer says he is prepared to defend the singer against the allegations made in the arresting officer's complaint.
“I look forward to vigorously defending Mr. Timberlake against these allegations,” said attorney Edward Burke Jr.
Justin Timberlake's wife Jessica Biel is reportedly in town filming the Amazon Prime TV series The Better Sister.
Timberlake's court date is set for July 26, but he does not have to appear as he has a tour stop on that date.
