The complaint stated that Timberlake had «bloodshot and glassy eyes, a strong odor of alcoholic beverage emanating from his breath, he was unable to focus, had slurred speech, unsteady gait, and performed poorly on all standardized field sobriety tests».
The arresting officer also reported that the «Cry Me a River» singer gave a «verbal admission», - telling the police officer: «I had one martini and then went driving to see my friends».
Timberlake was then arrested around 12:30 am on Tuesday, June 18, and taken to the Sag Harbor Police headquarters for processing. Additionally, the pop star was charged with driving under the influence and two traffic violations: running a red light and crossing over his lane.
The Sag Harbor Police Department did not immediately respond to a request for comment from Hollywood Life.
Later on Tuesday, Timberlake was photographed leaving the Sag Harbor Police headquarters after being released. Reports suggest he is not expected in court until July.
The arrest of the «Mirrors» singer occurred during his Forget Tomorrow tour. He is scheduled to perform in Chicago this week and plans to perform at Madison Square Garden in New York next week. He has not publicly discussed the arrest.
Over the weekend, Timberlake celebrated Father’s Day by posting a photo on Instagram with his sons Silas and Phineas, whom he raises with his wife Jessica Biel. In his caption, Timberlake called his children «the two greatest gifts».
«I learn more about myself every day because you both chose me to be your dad», - he wrote. «I will always be there for you in your successes and failures… to lift you up and show you how far you can go in this life, and to support you when you fall. And of course, to annoy you with unbearable dad jokes along the way. I love you both so much. Thank you for giving me my most important purpose»
