Justin Timberlake Pleads Guilty to Lesser Charge, Avoids DWI in Hamptons Case

Timberlake Pleads Guilty to Driving While Alcohol Impaired

The 43-year-old “Sexy­Back” singer plead­ed guilty to a less­er charge of dri­ving while alco­hol impaired in Sag Har­bor Vil­lage Jus­tice Court on Fri­day morning.

He avoid­ed the more seri­ous charge of dri­ving while under the influence.

Sentenced to Community Service

Jus­tice Carl Irace sen­tenced Tim­ber­lake to com­mu­ni­ty ser­vice and required him to issue a pub­lic state­ment, which the pop star was set to read out short­ly after the court proceedings.

Prosecutors Deny Special Treatment

Suf­folk Coun­ty Dis­trict Attor­ney Ray Tier­ney insist­ed that Tim­ber­lake was not receiv­ing spe­cial treat­ment, not­ing that the plea deal offered is stan­dard in sim­i­lar cases.

Incident Details

Tim­ber­lake was pulled over in the ear­ly hours of June 18 after he alleged­ly blew through a stop sign and was swerv­ing out of his lane. He then alleged­ly refused three times to take a Breath­a­lyz­er test.

Timberlake’s Statement

The singer is expect­ed to issue a pub­lic state­ment as part of his sen­tence, address­ing the inci­dent and the legal outcome.
