Justin Timberlake’s Lawyer Argues Police Made “Significant Errors” In DWI Arrest

by

Justin Timberlake’s lawyer argued the singer was never actually under the influence at the time of his recent arrest for driving while intoxicated in Sag Harbor, New York. His attorney, Edward Burke, presented the argument in court for a hearing in the case on Friday. In doing so, he claimed police made several “very significant” errors in the arrest.

“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 obtained by CNN. “The police made a number of very significant errors in this case.”

Burke continued: “Justin respects law enforcement and the very important job that they do. He cooperated with the police officers at all times and treated them with the respect they deserve. He also respects the entire judicial process including the District Attorney and Judge who were in court today. But the fact remains, he was not intoxicated and they made an error in arresting him for it. We are confident that this charge will be dismissed.”

Police pulled Timberlake over for allegedly failing to stop and a stop sign and also stay in his own driving lane. Additionally, they claim he admitted to having “one martini” before driving. One officer described him as having “slowed speech,” and performing “poorly” on all standardized field sobriety tests. His arraignment in the case is set for next month.

Justin Timberlake Comments On DWI Arrest For The First Time At Chicago Show

by

Earlier this week, Justin Timberlake was arrested for allegedly driving while intoxicated in The Hamptons. Reportedly, he was stopped after having dinner at a nearby hotel and refused to take a breathalyzer test. Officer Michael Arkinson said in his report that Timberlake was pulled over for not stopping at a stop sign, and swerving. “It was ascertained that the defendant was operating said vehicle in an intoxicated condition in that his 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,” the officer also wrote.

Timberlake is scheduled to appear in court on July 26, but in the meantime, his “Forget Tomorrow” tour looks to be proceeding as planned. He kicked things off with a performance in Chicago last night. At one point in the show, he even seemingly addressed his latest legal issues onstage.
