Justin Timberlake, the famous singer and performer, was arrested in Sag Harbor, New York, for driving under the influence (DUI). The incident happened late Monday night after he had dinner at a nearby hotel, as confirmed by the police.

Initial reports indicated that Justin Timberlake was pulled over for a minor traffic issue soon after midnight as he left the America Hotel in Sag Harbor.

However, TMZ and Page Six later clarified that he now faces a more serious charge of driving while intoxicated (DWI). This development poses a significant legal challenge for the 43-year-old singer.

According to sources close to the investigation, Timberlake was cooperative during the arrest and is currently in police custody awaiting an arraignment scheduled for later today.

The timing of his arrest raises questions about the potential impact on his scheduled performances, including two shows planned for this weekend in Chicago and subsequent dates in New York City.

“We were surprised to hear about Justin’s arrest. He seemed fine when we saw him at dinner,” remarked a witness who dined with Timberlake earlier that evening.

Fans and industry observers are closely monitoring developments as the situation unfolds. Timberlake’s representatives have yet to comment on the incident, leaving speculation rampant about the ramifications for his ongoing “Forget Tomorrow World Tour” and his public image.

“As an artist with a significant following, any legal issue can have a profound effect on public perception,” commented a music industry analyst, highlighting the potential impact on Timberlake’s career trajectory.
