Pop star Justin Timberlake found himself in legal trouble after being stopped twice for driving while intoxicated (DWI) in Sag Harbor, Long Island. According to a local law enforcement source, the 43-year-old singer was initially stopped and advised not to continue driving by a young officer who did not recognize him. Despite receiving a warning, Timberlake was observed driving his 2025 BMW SUV again a few minutes later by the same officer, leading to his second stop.
During the second stop, Timberlake allegedly drove through a stop sign and swerved into the left lane. He admitted to having a single martini at the historic American Hotel, where he had dinner with unidentified friends. Timberlake, who has previously acknowledged issues with excessive drinking, was asked to perform field sobriety tests, which he reportedly performed poorly. He refused to take a Breathalyzer test after being asked three times.
The officer noted in his report that Timberlake appeared unsteady on his feet, slurred his speech, and smelled strongly of alcohol. His eyes were described as “glassy” and bloodshot. Timberlake expressed frustration and concern about the impact his arrest might have on his ongoing world tour during the second stop.
Friends of Timberlake have defended him, claiming that the rookie officer was overzealous and that Timberlake had agreed to perform a sobriety test. They argue that he was right to refuse the Breathalyzer test. The American Hotel’s restaurant and bar, where Timberlake had dinner, is known for its popularity among celebrities, including rock icon Billy Joel.
Sag Harbor police are known for monitoring popular bars in the area and stopping motorists who exhibit signs of impaired driving. While Timberlake could face up to a year in jail if convicted, experts believe he will likely receive a lenient punishment due to this being his first offense.

This incident serves as a reminder that fame and fortune should never excuse reckless behavior. It’s time
