Justin Timberlake is expected to enter a plea to a driving while intoxicated charge related to his June arrest in Sag Harbor, N.Y., according to the Suffolk County district attorney’s office.
Timberlake will appear at a hearing this Friday, marking the singer’s first return to the Hamptons enclave since his arrest. The singer pleaded not guilty to the charge last month, through a virtual court appearance, where the judge suspended his license.
Timberlake will plead to a lesser charge, according to the Associated Press. Prosecutors would not comment further on the details of the plea deal.
CNN has reached out to Timberlake’s publicist. His attorney, Edward Burke, declined to comment.
At the time of his arrest in June, police said Timberlake, 43, was observed driving a 2025 BMW “in an intoxicated condition.”
He allegedly failed to stop at a stop sign and also failed to maintain in his lane of travel, according to a statement from Sag Harbor Police. He was described by an officer as “unable to divide attention” and performing poorly on “standardized field sobriety tests.”
Timberlake told police he “had one martini and I followed my friends home,” according to court records.
When Terry Bush co-wrote and sang Maybe Tomorrow, the theme song for The Littlest Hobo, he thought it was just another gig—a catchy tune for a TV show about a wandering German Shepherd. Forty-five years later, that 'little tune' still tugs at heartstrings, pops up on playlists, and has even been known to be played at closing time in English pubs.
