<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/justin-timberlake">Justin Timberlake’s</a> attorney, Edward Burke, argued in court that the singer was not intoxicated when he was arrested last month for a DWI (driving while intoxicated) in New York.
During a hearing on Friday, Burke appeared in court without Timberlake and claimed that the cops screwed up when they arrested the 43-year-old pop star in Sag Harbor, <a href="https://www.cnn.com/2024/07/26/entertainment/justin-timberlake-dwi-hearing/index.html">CNN</a> reported.
“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. “The police made a number of very significant errors in this case.”
“Justin respects law enforcement and the very important job that they do,” the statement added. “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,” Burke continued. “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.”
Surveillance footage from the night of the arrest shows Timberlake’s 2025 BMW driving down a deserted street near the American Hotel in Sag Harbor in the Hamptons. The arrest report says Timberlake was stopped after a police officer noticed him ignoring a stop sign and “fail[ing] to keep on the right side of the roadway,” <a href="https://people.com/justin-timberlake-photo-shows-driving-before-dwi-arrest-8665820">People</a> noted.

The officer reported that Timberlake’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.”
The report also noted that Timberlake said, “I had one martini and I followed my friends home.”
The “Cry Me a River” singer was charged with one count of driving while intoxicated and was given citations for running a stop sign and failure to keep in lane.
An arraignment in the case is scheduled to take place in August, CNN noted.
