He was arrested in Sag Harbor area of the Hamptons
The initial arrest was made in the early hours of Tuesday morning and Justin Timberlake had reportedly been dining and drinking with pals at a hotel. The chief of Sag Harbor police said he couldn’t drive staying in the correct lane and ran a stop sign. His eyes were reportedly bloodshot and gassy.
The officer had no clue who he was
