Justin Timberlake Held in Jail for Nine Hours After Allegedly Driving While Intoxicated in the Hamptons

Justin Timberlake was forced to spend nine hours in a Hamptons jail early Tuesday morning after he was arrested for driving his BMW while allegedly intoxicated.

The Sag Harbor Police Department confirmed to The Daily Beast that the 43-year-old singer was arrested at 12:37 a.m. on Tuesday for failing to stop his 2025 BMW southbound at a stop sign “and failing to maintain his lane of travel” in the Long Island village. Timberlake was arrested after refusing three times to take a chemical test—even though cops say he appeared to be drunk and had bloodshot, glassy eyes, according to a criminal complaint.

“I had one martini and I followed my friends home,” Timberlake allegedly told cops, the complaint states.

The complaint also states that he was unsteady and couldn’t focus on speaking with officers while looking for his car registration. He was then taken to the Sag Village Police Department for processing, where he refused a request to test his blood alcohol content and was held overnight at another police headquarters. At 9:30 a.m. on Tuesday, he was arraigned for driving while intoxicated and released on his own recognizance.

The Daily Beast has contacted Timberlake’s representatives for comment.

The NSYNC star performed in Miami over the weekend as part of his “Forget Tomorrow World Tour” for his sixth album. On Sunday, Timberlake posted photos of his two sons—9-year-old Silas and 3-year-old Phineas—with Jessica Biel in honor of Father’s Day.
