Justin Timberlake DUI Arrest Video Released

Video footage of recording artist Justin Timberlake’s 2024 arrest for driving under the influence has been released after a legal agreement between Sag Harbor Police and Timberlake’s lawyers. The footage shows Timberlake struggling with field sobriety tests.

Details of the Arrest

The incident occurred on June 18, 2024, in Sag Harbor, New York. According to police, Timberlake ran a stop sign, veered out of his lane, and exhibited signs of alcohol impairment after being pulled over in his BMW. The Associated Press reported that Timberlake told officers he had consumed one martini and was following friends home.

Footage Reveals Sobriety Test Struggles

The released video, approximately eight hours in length, depicts Timberlake attempting to perform field sobriety tests, including walking a straight line and standing on one leg. He is heard telling officers, “These are like really hard tests.” Local 10 detailed his apparent difficulty and moments of frustration during the tests.

Legal Proceedings and Plea Deal

Timberlake pleaded guilty to a lesser charge of impaired driving in September 2024. As part of the plea deal, he was sentenced to a $500 fine, 25 hours of community service, and a 90-day suspension of his driver’s license. He also agreed to participate in a public safety announcement regarding the dangers of driving under the influence.

Lawsuit and Video Release

Timberlake’s lawyers initially filed a lawsuit to prevent the release of the video, arguing it would violate his privacy and cause irreparable harm to his reputation. However, they later acknowledged the video did not constitute an unwarranted invasion of privacy under New York state law and agreed to its release on March 20, 2026. Harrison Daily reported on the legal proceedings surrounding the video’s release.

Timberlake’s Statement

As part of his sentence, Timberlake urged drivers not to get behind the wheel after consuming any amount of alcohol.
