Justin Timberlake Arrested for DWI in Sag Harbor
On a muggy Tuesday afternoon in Sag Harbor, the quaint Hamptons village was abuzz with news of singer and actor Justin Timberlake’s arrest for driving while intoxicated. Janice Yu of WABC-TV, along with a convoy of journalists from various news outlets, gathered near the American Hotel where Timberlake had been partying with friends the night before.
According to the police report, Timberlake was driving a gray BMW after leaving the hotel and ran a stop sign before being pulled over by a Sag Harbor police officer. He refused to take a breath test and was subsequently arrested and taken to the police station for processing.
After spending the night in custody, Timberlake was seen leaving the station in handcuffs, looking glum as he headed to the Sag Harbor Village Justice Court for his arraignment. He pleaded not guilty to the charges and has enlisted the help of a prominent criminal defense lawyer for his case.
As news crews swarmed the area for updates on the high-profile arrest, locals at the American Hotel seemed unfazed by the commotion, enjoying their meals and the sunny weather. Some even approached the news vans for a chance to play reporter for a moment, adding a lighthearted touch to the otherwise serious situation.
Despite the media frenzy surrounding Timberlake’s arrest, some residents felt that the coverage was excessive, considering that no accident had occurred. As one local put it, “It’s like a happening.”
As the story continues to unfold, all eyes are on Timberlake as he navigates the legal process in the aftermath of his DWI arrest in Sag Harbor.
