Justin Timberlake Pleads Guilty to Impaired Driving

Justin Timberlake pleaded guilty Friday to a traffic infraction — driving while ability impaired — to resolve his driving while intoxicated case in the Hamptons.

Timberlake apologized for his conduct in comments to reporters after court, saying, “Many of you have probably been covering me for a lot of my life . … I try to hold myself to a very high standard for myself — and this was not that.”

“I found myself in a position where I could’ve made a different decision. But I’ve had some time to reflect on that,” he said.

“What I’d like to say to everyone watching and listening: Even if you’ve had one drink, don’t get behind the wheel of a car. There are so many alternatives. Call a friend, take an Uber,” Timberlake said.

Timberlake appeared in person in Sag Harbor Village court on Friday. The judge ordered him to pay a fine and perform community service.

Timberlake also agreed to appear in a public service announcement about the dangers of drunk driving.

Timberlake was leaving a hotel in June when he was stopped for running a stop sign and swerving into the oncoming lane.

The officer smelled booze on the pop star’s breath, and police noted he had bloodshot, glassy eyes, according to a police report. Timberlake also had slow speech, was unsteady on his feet, and performed poorly on a field sobriety test, according to the criminal complaint.

The complaint said that Timberlake told the arresting officer he had only one drink.

The singer is currently on his “The Forget Tomorrow World Tour.” His next concert is on Sept. 28 in Newark, New Jersey.
