SAG HARBOR, New York – Justin Timberlake was taken into custody early Tuesday for allegedly driving while intoxicated on Long Island, as reported by authorities. The singer appeared in court in Sag Harbor on the eastern end of Long Island, where he was charged with one count of DWI. Timberlake’s lawyer and representatives did not respond to requests for comment.

Situated in the Hamptons, Sag Harbor attracts wealthy visitors during the summer months. Timberlake, a former Disney Mouseketeer, gained fame as a member of the boy band NSYNC before venturing into a successful solo music career in 2002. Additionally, he has earned recognition for his acting roles in films such as “The Social Network” and “Friends With Benefits.”

With 10 Grammy Awards and four Primetime Emmy Awards to his name, Timberlake is a celebrated artist in the music industry. Last year, his past relationship with Britney Spears resurfaced through her memoir, “The Woman in Me,” shedding light on personal experiences like a pregnancy and a painful breakup. His most recent album, “Everything I Thought It Was,” was released in March to critical acclaim for its nostalgic future funk sound.

Despite his legal troubles, Timberlake has upcoming performances in Chicago and New York. However, the outcome of his recent DWI charge may impact his future projects and public image. Fans and critics alike await further developments in the ongoing legal proceedings.
