Justin Timberlake's mugshot has been released after he was charged with drink-driving, with court documents describing his eyes as "bloodshot and glassy".
The American singer was arrested for driving while intoxicated after he failed to maintain his lane of travel and pause at a stop sign, police said.
The 43-year-old pop star and actor was arrested in the early hours of Tuesday morning in the wealthy village of Sag Harbor in New York, according to Robert Drake, chief of police at Sag Harbor Village Police Department.
Timberlake was held overnight and informed of the criminal charges against him in the morning before being released.
A statement, seen by the PA news agency, said: “On June 18th 2024, at 12.37am, Justin R Timberlake, age 43, of Tennessee, was observed operating a 2025 BMW southbound on Madison Street, failing to stop at a duly posted stop sign and failing to maintain his lane of travel.
“A traffic stop was initiated by a Police Officer from the Sag Harbor Village Police Department and upon investigation it was determined that Mr Timberlake was operating his vehicle in an intoxicated condition.
“Mr Timberlake was placed under arrest, processed, and held overnight for morning arraignment.
“Mr Timberlake was arraigned at the Sag Harbor Village Justice Court on June 18 2024 at 9.30am, where he was released on his own recognisance.”
The Cry Me A River singer is due to perform two shows in Chicago this week before two shows at Madison Square Garden in New York next week.
