Witness Claims Justin Timberlake Was ‘Wasted’ and Drained Another Person’s Drink Before DWI Arrest
Timberlake was stopped by police after leaving the American Hotel and charged with driving while intoxicated. Cops say the 43-year-old singer claimed he had just “one” drink after he was pulled over.
“I had one martini and I followed my friends home,” the singer told authorities, according to his arrest report.
Police pulled Timberlake over after witnessing him run a red light and swerve into another lane. The officer said the pop star’s “eyes were bloodshot and glassy, a strong odor of an alcoholic beverage was emanating from his breath, he was unable to divide attention, he had slowed speech, he was unsteady afoot, and he performed poorly on all standardized field sobriety tests.”
So far, Timberlake has not issued a statement about the incident.
