Justin Randall Timberlake (born January 31, 1981), occasionally known by his initials JT, is an American singer, songwriter, actor, dancer, and record producer.
Raised in Tennessee, he appeared on the television shows Star Search and The All-New Mickey Mouse Club as a child. In the late 1990s, Timberlake rose to prominence as one of the two lead vocalists and youngest member of NSYNC, which eventually became one of the best-selling boy bands of all time.
Timberlake began to adopt a more mature image as an artist with the release of his debut solo album, the R&B-focused Justified (2002), which yielded the successful singles "Cry Me a River" and "Rock Your Body", and earned his first two Grammy Awards.
Justin Timberlake “refused breathalyser” when he was arrested for driving while intoxicated.Earlier today (June 18) the ‘Cry Me A River’ singer was arrested for “driving while intoxicated” in Long Island, New York.
Per a statement from the Suffolk County District Attorney’s office (via AP), Timberlake was expected to be arraigned in Sag Harbor, on the eastern end of Long Island.Now, it has been reported that following his appearance in court today, the ‘Rock Your Body’ star was released without bail and was only charged with a “single count” of driving while intoxicated because he “refused the breath test,” (per Just Jared).Ed Burke, Timberlake’s lawyer shared a statement to US Weekly that read: “The charge was a single count because he refused the breath test.
Mr. Timberlake was also charged with two other court citations, running a stop sign and not travelling in the correct traffic lane.”According to a complaint obtained by the New York Post, the 10-time Grammy Award winner claimed to have consumed just “one martini”.
The outlet also reported that the unnamed arresting officer was allegedly “so young that he didn’t even know” who Timberlake was.The complaint read: “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.”Per TMZ, the former NSync star is due back in court on July 26.
