Justin Timberlake struggled to perform field sobriety tests after being pulled over by police in New York's Hamptons in 2024, according to video footage released on Friday. The pop star, who was suspected of driving while intoxicated, told officers at one point: 'These are, like, really hard tests.'
The footage, which runs approximately eight hours, includes the initial stop in Sag Harbor after police said Timberlake ran a stop sign, veered out of his lane, and got out of his BMW smelling of alcohol. The singer told officers he had consumed one martini and was following friends home.
During the stop, Timberlake told officers he was on a world tour, and when asked for identification, he said: 'I'm Justin Timberlake.' He later pleaded guilty to a lesser charge of impaired driving and was sentenced to a $500 fine, 25 hours of community service, and a 90-day license suspension.
Timberlake's lawyers had previously sued to block the video's release, arguing it would 'devastate' his privacy. However, in a joint filing with the village of Sag Harbor, they acknowledged the footage did not constitute an unwarranted invasion of privacy under state law and agreed to its release.
