JUSTIN Timberlake was reportedly warned to stop driving just minutes before his shocking DWI arrest earlier this week.
Law enforcement sources now claim that the pop star was not only advised to stay off the road, but was also warned by the same officer who later arrested him, according to The New York Post.
A local law enforcement source said the exit that the Cry Me a River singer was initially stopped by police just minutes before his arrest on Tuesday morning.
“He was pulled over and advised not to drive,” the source at Timberlake said.
“The police officer didn’t recognize him; he’s a young guy. And he even cut Justin some slack because he didn’t pose an immediate danger.”
The source stated that the police officer thought the stop “was the end” and that the singer was “going to get a ride home.”

The officer reportedly patrolled a different area and only “a few minutes later” saw Timberlake again.
“What an idiot,” the source told the outlet.
“I’m thinking he could afford a driver. How’s that for entitlement?
LATE NIGHT PRISON
The Grammy winner was arrested shortly after midnight on Tuesday after leaving the American Hotel in Sag Harbor on Long Island, New York.
He was allegedly caught swerving and running a stop sign when the arresting officer pulled him over.
During the stop, Timberlake was asked to perform a series of field sobriety tests.
Court documents indicated that the singer performed “poorly.”
He was also asked to blow a breathalyzer, which he refused.
Timberlake was then arrested and taken into custody.
He was arrested at Sag Harbor Village Justice Court and released without bail.
Timberlake was accused of driving while intoxicated.
