Justin Timberlake was arrested on suspicion of driving under the influence after failing field sobriety tests in the Hamptons area of Long Island. The 43-year-old pop superstar, who claimed to have had just one martini before being pulled over, was arraigned and released without bail. Police stopped Timberlake for driving through a stop sign and failing to stay on the right side of the road, but noticed signs of intoxication during their interaction. Timberlake struggled with sobriety tests and refused chemical testing. His arrest came after dining at The American Hotel in Sag Harbor, a popular spot for celebrities and affluent visitors. The incident has stirred controversy, particularly in light of recent backlash from Britney Spears' fans. Timberlake, who pleaded not guilty, is scheduled to appear in court later this month.
