Powerful Gen Z Officer Arrests Justin Timberlake for DWI: A Closer Look

Entertainment | June 22, 2024, 9:54 p.m.

Rookie cop Michael Arkinson recently made headlines for arresting pop star Justin Timberlake for alleged drunk driving in The Hamptons. Known for being a strict enforcer of the law, Arkinson earned the nicknames 'Sag Harbor Nazi' and "little red-headed dips-t" from residents. Graduating from the police academy in 2022, Arkinson quickly rose to the position of a full-time Sag Harbor officer despite his short tenure. Living just a short drive away, Arkinson has been vigilant in upholding traffic rules, as seen in his interaction with a resident who received a ticket for talking on speakerphone while driving. Unfamiliar with Timberlake's fame, Arkinson approached the situation without bias. While some believe Timberlake was a victim of over-aggressive policing, Arkinson remains dedicated to maintaining law and order in The Hamptons.
