Global News
'I'm going to be here all night? You guys are wild, man,' Timberlake says in the bodycam footage after he was informed that he will be held overnight.
Police bodycam footage of Justin Timberlake’s 2024 arrest for driving while intoxicated (DWI) in the Hamptons in Long Island, N.Y., has been released after his unsuccessful attempt earlier this month to prevent it from becoming public.
The 45-year-old pop star struggled to perform field sobriety tests requiring him to walk a straight line and stand on one leg after he was pulled over in New York’s Hamptons in 2024 by police officers who suspected him of driving drunk, according to video footage released by police and published by The Associated Press and several other outlets.
The footage, which runs roughly eight hours, includes Timberlake’s initial stop after Sag Harbor police said he ran a stop sign and veered out of his lane and got out of his BMW smelling of alcohol that June.
Timberlake tells officers in the footage that he had consumed one martini and had been following friends home.
When an officer asks why he is in town, Timberlake says, “I’m on a world tour.”
The officer asks, “Doing what?”
“Hard to explain,” Timberlake responds, before adding, “World tour. I’m Justin Timberlake.”
“You are Justin Timberlake? Do you have a licence with you?” the officer asks.
'Reason, cold, calculating, unimpassioned reason, must furnish all the materials for our future support and defence,' the Oscar-winning actor said.
