Mar 21st 2026 · United States

A redacted Sag Harbor police video shows Justin Timberlake struggling through field sobriety tests after a June 2024 traffic stop, and later pleading guilty to a reduced impaired driving charge with fines, community service, and a license suspension.

  • Police stopped Timberlake in Sag Harbor in June 2024 after officers said he ran a stop sign and veered out of his lane.
  • Video released by Sag Harbor police shows him smelling of alcohol, saying he had one martini, and struggling with walk-and-turn and one-leg-stand tests.
  • Timberlake told officers he was nervous and identified himself as being on a world tour during the stop.
  • He pleaded guilty in September 2024 to a reduced charge that was treated as a noncriminal traffic violation under a plea deal.
  • The sentence included a public safety announcement, a $500 fine, 25 hours of community service, and a 90-day license suspension.
  • Timberlake's lawyers initially sued to block the release of the footage but later agreed a redacted version did not violate state public records law and allowed its release
