A detail from Justin Timberlake’s arrest reveals humiliating blow

• Timberlake, 43, was arrested in connection with drunken driving on Tuesday in Sag Harbor, New York
• He referenced his ongoing The Forget Tomorrow World Tour during the arrest

The police officer who arrested Justin Timberlake for drink driving ‘was so young, he didn’t even know’ who the singer was. 

Justin, 43, was pulled over after he ran a stop sign and veered out of his lane while behind the wheel of his BMW X7 in the early hours of Tuesday morning in Sag Harbor after a night out with friends. 

A new report has claimed the officer didn’t ‘recognize him or his name’ when he stepped out of the luxury vehicle. 

Sources told Page Six, Justin had said under his breath, ‘This is going to ruin the tour,’ to which the officer replied: ‘What tour?’ Justin said: ‘The world tour.’

The singer, who rose to fame as the lead member of 90s boyband NSYNC before launching a successful solo career in the noughties, is still reportedly planning to do his two upcoming shows for his The Forget Tomorrow World Tour in Chicago later this week.

The officer who arrested Justin Timberlake for drink driving in Sag Harbor in the early hours of Tuesday ‘was so young, he didn’t even know’ who the singer was, according to a new report

Justin, who was pictured in handcuffs at one point, was released without bond later Tuesday morning after being arraigned in Sag Harbor 

It will be followed by back-to-back nights at Madison Square Garden in New York City next week. 

Justin, who has been on tour since April, was driving a 2025 BMW in Sag Harbor around 12:30 a.m. when the officer stopped him and determined he was intoxicated, according to a court document reviewed by the AP.

‘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 court papers said.

Sobriety tests include being asked to walk heel-to-toe in a straight line and turn and retrace the steps or stand on one leg. 

Justin told the officer he had ‘one martini and was following some friends home’. 

After being arrested and taken to a police station in nearby East Hampton, he refused a breath test. 

Court papers listed his occupation as ‘professional’ and said he’s ‘self-employed.’

Justin was released from the Hamptons police station in handcuffs and was  without bond later on Tuesday morning after being arraigned in Sag Harbor. 

The hitmaker appeared shell-shocked and looked straight ahead as he was led out by officers.  

After a brief arraignment where he was banned from driving for a year in New York, he was released without bail, emerging from court wearing a baseball cap. 

Justin was arraigned on one count of DWI, as well as running a stop sign and failing to stay in his lane. He is next in court on July 26. 

The pop star is still reportedly planning to do his two upcoming shows in Chicago later this week for his The Forget Tomorrow World Tour (pictured in April)

The police officer ‘was so young that he didn’t even know’ who Timberlake was’ and ‘didn’t recognize him or his name,’ a source told Page Six on Tuesday 

Justin’s wife Jessica, meanwhile, was spotted out in public on Tuesday for the first time after her husband’s arrest. The actress, 42, filmed scenes for her Amazon series The Better Sister

The same day that her husband was released on bail, Jessica was seen as she continued filming her Apple series. She wore a costume that she had been pictured in while filming last week

Justin had been drinking with friends at The American Hotel bar in the Hamptons town. 

One witness claimed to The New York Post the singer had been ‘wasted’ before his DWI bust and was even seen drinking someone else’s drink from another table. 

The unknown person told the outlet: ‘He was wasted. At one point, just before closing, somebody got up to go to the bathroom and left his drink on the table.

‘When [the man] came back, [Timberlake] was drinking his drink. The guy goes, “Justin, that’s my drink!.”‘

After reports emerged Justin had told officers at the scene he had ‘just one martini’ before ‘following his friends home,’ it opened the floodgates for dozens of memes to be created.

Fans made jokes about the size of the martini glass and his famous dance moves came back to haunt him after he failed the field sobriety test. 

One wrote: ‘Why does Justin Timberlake look so hungover if he only had ONE martini? The martini…,’ alongside a gif of a giant martini glass being carried over to a table.  

Others uploaded memes of bartenders generously pouring alcohol into a cocktail glass. 

They wrote alongside it: ‘The bartender that made Justin Timberlake’s one martini’ and ‘Actual footage of the bartender, making Justin Timberlake’s one martini.’

Another fan compared him to Eddie Redmayne’s Cabaret performance at the Tony Awards and wrote: ‘Justin Timberlake claiming he had one martini.’
