Justin Timberlake reaches new plea deal in DWI case, according to DA: Reports
View Date:2024-12-24 11:17:49
Justin Timberlake is set to enter a new plea in his DWI case in the Hamptons during a Friday court hearing.
"The Suffolk County District Attorney’s Office anticipates Mr. Timberlake will enter a plea," the district attorney's office told Scripps News. The Associated Press and Today also reported that Timberlake agreed to a new plea Wednesday.
A representative for Timberlake's attorney Ed Burke Jr. told USA TODAY that he had "no comment" on Wednesday.
Pleading to a lesser charge doesn't mean the 10-time Grammy winner won't lose his drivers license. Refusing a breathalyzer test, as Timberlake did, comes with a one year drivers license suspension in New York.
Timberlake was first apprehended by police on June 18, according to a press release from the Sag Harbor Village Police Department. Sag Harbor is part of the Hamptons, about 100 miles east of New York City.

Justin Timberlake's lawyer says singerwasn't drunk, 'should not have been arrested'
Timberlake was pulled over in his 2025 BMW after failing to stop at a stop sign and "maintain his lane of travel." "Upon investigation it was determined that Mr. Timberlake was operating his vehicle in an intoxicated position," according to the Sag Harbor Village Police Department.
His next court date is scheduled for Sept. 13. In July, Burke came forward with an interesting line of defense in the DWI case: Timberlake was never drunk.
“The most important fact to know about this case is that Justin was not intoxicated and should not have been arrested for DWI,” Timberlake's lawyer Edward Burke said in a statement obtained by USA TODAY, later adding that police "made a number of very significant errors in this case.”
The statement continued: "Justin respects law enforcement and the very important job that they do. He cooperated with the police officers at all times and treated them with the respect they deserve. He also respects the entire judicial process including the District Attorney and Judge who were in court today."
The "Selfish" singer is in the midst of his successful Forget Tomorrow World Tour and his next tour date is scheduled for Sept. 28 in New Jersey.
