Justin Timberlake's lawyer claims police made 'significant errors' during star's DWI arrest
Fox News
Justin Timberlake's attorney, Ed Burke, told Fox News Digital on Friday that the singer was "not intoxicated" at the time of his DWI arrest on June 18.
"The most important fact to know about this case is that Justin was not intoxicated and should not have been arrested for DWI," Burke said in a statement to Fox News Digital. "The police made a number of very significant errors in this case. In court today, you heard the district attorney try to fix one of those errors. But that’s just one and there are many others. Sometimes the police make mistakes and this is just one of those instances." "But the fact remains, he was not intoxicated and they made an error in arresting him for it." Christina Dugan Ramirez is an entertainment writer for Fox News Digital.
Burke appeared on behalf of Timberlake at the hearing on Friday. The *NSYNC star had waived his appearance and was not required to be there. However, he will need to appear virtually at the next hearing on Aug. 2.
