AceShowbiz - Justin Timberlake's mugshot has been released following his arrest early Tuesday morning, June 18 in Sag Harbor, New York. The 43-year-old pop star looks somber in the image, which offers a stark contrast to his normally vibrant public persona. According to the police report, Timberlake was observed driving his 2025 gray BMW, failing to stop at a duly posted stop sign, and not staying in his lane, leading to a traffic stop initiated by the Sag Harbor Village Police Department.
Officers reported that Timberlake displayed signs of intoxication, including glassy, bloodshot eyes, a strong odor of alcohol on his breath, and unsteady movements. Despite his admission of having "one martini," Timberlake performed poorly on all standardized field sobriety tests. The singer was detained overnight and released without bail following his arraignment the next morning. He is scheduled to appear in court on July 26.
Interestingly, the officer responsible for the arrest was reportedly so young that he did not recognize Timberlake, who rose to fame as a Disney Mouseketeer in the 1990s before achieving global stardom as a member of the boy band NSYNC and later as a solo artist. Timberlake's arrest comes amidst his "Forget Tomorrow World Tour," with upcoming performances at the United Center in Chicago and Madison Square Garden in New York.
Timberlake's wife, actress Jessica Biel, was notably absent during the incident, as she was filming her new Prime Video series, "The Better Sister," in Central Park, New York. Timberlake and Biel share two children, Silas, 9, and Phineas, 3. Despite the ordeal, Timberlake expressed his love for his family on Instagram, marking Father's Day with a heartfelt post dedicated to his children.
