Justin Timberlake Is Charged With Drunken Driving in Sag Harbor
The New York Times
The police in the Hamptons community gave few details about the arrest of the singer and actor.
The singer and actor Justin Timberlake was arrested early Tuesday in Sag Harbor, N.Y., and arraigned on charges of driving while intoxicated, the police said.
Officials declined to provide further details about the arrest or the court appearance, why Mr. Timberlake was stopped or what kind of car he was driving.
Mr. Timberlake, who rose to pop stardom in the late 1990s as a teenage member of the boy band ’N Sync, was once among the most prominent male stars in American music. By 2002, Mr. Timberlake had embarked on a hugely successful solo career, working with cutting-edge pop and R&B producers like Timbaland and the Neptunes.
But his most recent solo album, “Everything I Thought It Was,” was met with criticism and weaker than usual sales when it was released in March, becoming his first solo release to miss No. 1 since “Justified” in 2002.
He is scheduled to perform at Madison Square Garden on June 25 and June 26.
In recent years, Mr. Timberlake’s behavior toward women in the early 2000s has also come under sharper scrutiny.
