Justin Timberlake’s driver’s license was suspended by a New York judge on Friday during a virtual court session on Long Island. Timberlake refuted the allegations of intoxicated driving. On June 18, Timberlake was taken into custody by the police after he allegedly ran a stop sign and veered out of his lane. During the remote arraignment, the former NSYNC singer, who is presently on tour in Europe, did not say much. According to Edward Burke Jr., his attorney, Timberlake was not drunk, and the prosecution ought to be dropped.
Newsday reported that Burke stated, “The fact is he was not intoxicated.” “I will say it again: Justin Timberlake was not intoxicated, and we are confident that the charges, the criminal charges, will be dismissed.”
Judge Carl Irace of Sag Harbor Village revoked Timberlake’s license and issued a gag order against Burke, claiming the attorney’s remarks to the press were improper. The next court appearance was set by Irace on August 9.
Burke stated that the case was delayed because the initial charge sheet was not signed by the sergeant and ought to be thrown out. To resolve that matter, fresh paperwork was filed on July 2, according to Assistant District Attorney Ashley Cangro.
In the posh Sag Harbor beach neighborhood, Timberlake was pulled over around 12:30 in the morning while operating a BMW, according to court records. He was discovered to be drunk by the officer. According to the paperwork, “His eyes were bloodshot and glassy, his breath reeked of alcohol, he was inattentive, his speech was slurred, his balance was unstable, and he failed all standardized field sobriety tests.”
The 43-year-old musician said to the policeman that he was driving home with some pals and that he had a martini. After being detained, he was held overnight by the police.
