In the early hours of Tuesday morning, Timberlake was arrested in Sag Harbor, New York, and arraigned later that day on one charge of DWI. 

Officers pulled the 'Sexy Back' singer was spotted veering across a road in the Hamptons enclave and running a stop sign in his 2025 plate BMW.

Timberlake appeared shell-shocked as he looked straight ahead as he was led out by officers.

After a brief hearing, he was banned from driving for a year in New York and was released without bail, emerging from court wearing a baseball cap.

Timberlake was arraigned on one count of DWI, as well as running a stop sign and failing to stay in his lane. He is next in court on July 26.

Sources told Page Six that the officer who pulled him over 'was so young that he didn't even know' who the pop star was. 

The insider told the outlet that the officer 'didn't recognize him or his name' after he was pulled over. 

The outlet also reported that Timberlake had said under his breath, 'This is going to ruin the tour,' to which the officer replied: 'What tour?' Justin said: 'The world tour.'  

Officers reportedly followed the pop star and observed him swerving across the road

Justin had been drinking with friends at The American Hotel bar in the Hamptons town.

One witness claimed to The New York Post the singer had been 'wasted' before his DWI bust and was even seen drinking someone else's drink from another table.

The unknown person told the outlet: 'He was wasted. At one point, just before closing, somebody got up to go to the bathroom and left his drink on the table.

'When [the man] came back, [Timberlake] was drinking his drink. The guy goes, "Justin, that's my drink!."'

After reports emerged Justin had told officers at the scene he had 'just one martini' before 'following his friends home,' it opened the floodgates for dozens of memes to be created.

Justin's wife Jessica, meanwhile, was spotted out in public on Tuesday for the first time after her husband's arrest.

The actress, 42, was pictured as she filmed scenes for her upcoming Amazon series The Better Sister in New York City.

Jessica looked tense and muted while standing around on set between takes.

Timberlake had been drinking more to 'escape' the backlash over Britney Spears' bombshell memoir and amid pressure of staying in the charts, according to reports. 

Insiders have claimed that he has arrived at tour rehearsals reeking of booze on more than one occasion.

'Justin has been stressed over the Britney drama that happened at the end of last year and some of us noticed that he was drinking more,' a source told DailyMail.com.

'He isn't an alcoholic by any stretch, but he was advised to reel the drinking in so he could have a clear head when dealing with any public controversy because he had been accused of handling the Britney and Janet Jackson backlash poorly.' 

The source continued: 'The guys who were there last night didn't want him to drive because they had been drinking, but they were ignored.

'He is being cooperative now and is working with his lawyer Edward [Burke, Jr.] to help him work his way through it. 

'His friends have wanted him to drop the booze for some time, so this is somewhat of a wake-up call.'

A second insider echoed the concerns, claiming Justin's latest alcohol-fueled incident stems from a need to 'escape' following poor album sales. 

The singer is still reportedly planning to do his two upcoming shows for his The Forget Tomorrow World Tour in Chicago later this week.

It will be followed by back-to-back nights at Madison Square Garden in New York City next week.
