Justin Timberlake continues to add to his list of controversies and scandals. The singer was arrested in New York on Monday and taken into custody for drunk driving. The NSYNC frontman was stopped by police in Sag Harbor after he was seen running a stop sign and swerving on the road. When authorities spoke with Timberlake, they found him glassy-eyed and smelling like alcohol. He was asked to perform a sobriety test, which he failed when he couldn’t complete a one-legged stand or a walk and turn. Now, fans are turning their attention to the singer’s wife, Jessica Biel, during this turbulent time.
Justin Timberlake reportedly had many friends come to the scene of his arrest, all of whom asked police to cut the singer a break. However, law enforcement refused to give him special treatment. He was then handcuffed and arrested, which was caught on police body cam, per TMZ. Timberlake was officially taken into custody for a DWI. He was later released without bail and is set to return to court on July 26. Meanwhile, Jessica Biel has stayed quiet about her husband’s latest scandal. However, some fans believe that the couple’s marriage may now be in jeopardy.
