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.
Gene Maddaus Senior Media Writer Justin Timberlake‘s lawyer claimed that the pop star was not drunk at the time of his arrest on a DWI charge in Sag Harbor in June.
Ed Burke, Timberlake’s lawyer, made the comments after a court hearing on Friday. Timberlake is due to be re-arraigned on the misdemeanor charge next week, after prosecutors corrected a defect in the complaint. “The most important fact to know about this case is that Justin was not intoxicated and should not have been arrested for DWI,” Burke said in a statement provided to Variety. “The police made a number of very significant errors in this case… Sometimes the police make mistakes and this is just one of those instances.” Timberlake, 43, was arrested on June 18 when a Sag Harbor officer spotted him weaving out of a lane and failing to stop at a stop sign.
According to the officer, Timberlake performed poorly on a field sobriety test. He also refused to take a Breathalyzer test.
The officer reported that his eyes were “bloodshot” and “glassy,” and that he smelled of alcohol. He told the police had one martini, and had followed his friends home, according to the police report.
