Justin Timberlake has reportedly been arrested for drink driving whilst intoxicated in the affluent Sag Harbor neighbourhood in the Hamptons. He is said to currently be in custody.

It has been reported that Justin Timberlake was arrested after he went to meet friends at a hotel in Sag Harbor, and then at around 12.30 AM Tuesday morning got back into his car to drive back to his residence. Once he started driving, he was reportedly pulled over.

As per a report by TMZ, the traffic violation occurred in the early hours of Tuesday 18th June, and he is going to appear in court later on today. He is said to currently be in custody after he was pulled over by the cops, and refused to be breathalysed.
