(NewsNation) — A court hearing is scheduled Friday following singer Justin Timberlake’s arrest on a DWI charge last month in the Hamptons on Long Island, New York.
Timberlake’s attorney is expected to attend the hearing in Sag Harbor Village Justice Court on Timberlake’s behalf, WABC-TV reported.
Timberlake, 43, said he’s “prepared to face whatever consequences” for his actions, according to Entertainment Tonight.
“He is hoping to learn from this experience and put it behind him,” Entertainment Tonight reported a source as saying, who added that Timberlake’s wife, Jessica Biel, “is extremely supportive and helping him navigate everything.”
Last month, Timberlake was charged with drunken driving after Sag Harbor police said he ran a stop sign and veered out of his lane.
He was driving a 2025 BMW in the village around 12:30 a.m. June 18 when an officer stopped him and determined he was intoxicated, according to a court document.
“His eyes were bloodshot and glassy, a strong odor of an alcoholic beverage was emanating from his breath, he was unable to divide attention, he had slowed speech, he was unsteady afoot and he performed poorly on all standardized field sobriety tests,” the court records stated.
Timberlake told the officer he had one martini and was following some friends home, according to the documents. After being arrested and taken to a police station in nearby East Hampton, he refused a breath test, court documents revealed.
He was charged with misdemeanor driving while intoxicated. After being held overnight, Timberlake was arraigned and released without bail.
