NEW YORK — Singer Justin Timberlake was arrested Tuesday and is accused of driving while intoxicated in Long Island, New York, authorities said.
Timberlake was expected to be arraigned in Sag Harbor on the eastern end of Long Island, according to a statement from the Suffolk County district attorney’s office.
Timberlake’s representatives did not immediately respond to requests for comment from The Associated Press.
Sag Harbor is a coastal village in the Hamptons, about 100 miles from New York City. In summer it is a meeting place for wealthy visitors.
A young Timberlake was a Disney Mouseketeer, where his co-stars included future girlfriend Britney Spears. He rose to fame in the popular boy band NSYNC and embarked on a solo career in 2002. As an actor, Timberlake won acclaim in films such as “The Social Network” and “Friends With Benefits.”
He has won ten Grammy Awards and four Primetime Emmy Awards.
Last year, Timberlake was in the headlines when Spears released her memoir, “The Woman in Me.” Several chapters are dedicated to their relationship, including in-depth personal details about a pregnancy, miscarriage and a painful separation. In March, he released his first new album in six years, the nostalgic “Everything I Thought It Was,” a return to his familiar funk sound of the future.
Timberlake has two shows in Chicago on Friday and Saturday, and is then scheduled for New York’s Madison Square Garden next week on Tuesday and Wednesday.
